We used this website at Room 9 to learn about the US voting system, electoral votes vs. popular votes, and the history of major events as they relate to voting.
You can go through the history of voting and every 4 years a map of the US pops up and shows the layout of the US in red and blue states.
You can change the states (undecided, republican, democrat) and see how many states it takes to win an election with electoral votes.
The kids (and myself) learned that it only takes 11 states for a President to win!
