Northside ISD students overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama and Joe Biden over John McCain and Sarah Palin in the Districtwide mock election.

Obama received 66 percent of the vote, compared to 31 percent for McCain. About 3 percent of students voted for Libertarian candidate Robert Barr or write-in candidates.

More than 64,000 students - or almost three-quarters of the NISD student body - voted in the mock election, which was coordinated by the elementary and secondary Social Studies departments and Academic Technology Services.

Voting at most secondary campuses took place last week, and elementary students voted Monday and Tuesday.
