I think it’s great that Tolland held a mock trial. This election in, particular, has really inspired students to get involved and learn about the candidates and issues. At Danbury High School we set an ongoing online vote for the school, currently, students have Hillary Clinton with 58.4% of the votes and Donald Trump with 41.6% of the votes. Our polls are closing on Monday.
