Violet wins! She's president of Mr. Mike's second grade class (and has sick hair).
Above is Violet, newly minted class president of Mr. Mike's second grade class at the Circle School in San Antonio, Texas.
Her classmates just wrapped up schoolwide elections, both for class presidents and a mock election for US president. The students prepared questions for their class president candidates — and the candidates came ready with promises.

After Violet won the election, it was time for the mock presidential votes to be counted.
This student's hat might give you a hint as to how that turned out.

There are about 90 kids in the whole school, and here are their mock election results:
- 4 votes for Bernie Sanders
- 6 for Jill Stein
- 1 for Vermin Supreme (ed. note: oh my god, these kids)
- 8 for Donald Trump
- 54 for Hillary Clinton

After the results were announced and the winners (and winner's supporters) cheered, these images popped up.
