Early voting has started in many states. Remind your eligible
students to go vote.<br>
<br>
Voter information sites like BallotPedia (<a

class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page</a>)
and county Board of Elections websites present a good opportunity to

civic importance. <br>

This contest entry absolutely demolished the competition--there's
probably an interesting visual rhetoric discussion to be had here
too.<br>
