Thanks to Creative Loafing for the tip:

Fun chart and full results at the Atlanta Public Schools: here. Kudos to Atlanta Public Schools for teaching our children in a fair way. All 6 candidates who have a chance of winning enough votes in the Electoral College were included in the results.
Green Party Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney received 99 votes for President from Atlanta school children. Cynthia McKinney, who now lives in California, was a Congressperson in Georgia for six terms. I think it is nice to know that someone who served as an elected official has young admirers in her community. I am impressed that in her old hometown, Cynthia McKinney surpassed the vote totals for all the other alternative/third party candidates.
