As some of you have showed interest on this topic, here you have the link to a website that offers complete information about the Presidential election, the future composition of the two Chambers, the elections to governors in some States and the results of ballot propositions. The Ballot Measures´ section is very interesting, because you can see what most of the voters of every State think about some burning topics: marijuana legalization, same-sex marriage, taxes on tobacco or gambling, funds for abortion and education, mandatory healthcare system...

Hi Paqui,
I think you wanted to write gambling instead of gamblig. It's a silly but I've felt that I had to tell you.
I delay in reading this blog but I do it. I like when your students write somme comments on the posts that you write.
I enjoied a lot with the videos of the American Revolution. They were very fun to learn this topic.
Bye, bye!
Hello Alberto,
