This application is an educational activity modeling the current system of U. S. Presidential Elections.  It is set up in the form of a game in which each player manages a candidate from one of the United States' two major parties.  Eight turns simulate an eight week long campaign, with players' decisions affecting the standings of their candidates in state-by-state polls.  After the campaign is complete, these polls are used to simulated elections within each state and the District of Columbia and a winner is determined according to the Electoral College results.

This is a modified version of A Presidential Election Game: 2008 Edition.  Electoral College, candidate and polling information have been updated and the game code has been revised so that the game will run more efficiently.
