New York Votes: The Big Election Day!

Imagine a giant state shaped like a puzzle piece on the east coast of the United States. That's New York! It has big mountains, sparkling lakes, and even a super famous city called New York City, which is like a giant playground with tall buildings.

In 2020, people all over New York State got ready to vote for who they wanted to be the next President of the whole country. It was a big day for everyone!

Two main teams were competing! One team had Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and the other had Donald Trump and Mike Pence. People in New York had to choose which team they thought would be the best leaders for America. They cast their votes, and it was like picking your favorite superhero to save the day. Everyone's vote counted, big or small!

After everyone voted, the grown-ups started counting. It was like counting all the toys in a giant toy box! Joe Biden got a lot of votes in New York, especially from people in New York City. He even got more votes than the last election! It was exciting to see who would win the state's special 'electoral votes', which help decide the President.

Guess what? For the first time ever, people in New York could vote without having to go to a special voting place! They could mail in their votes, like sending a special letter. This made it easier for many people to share their choice. It was a new and exciting way to be a part of this big election!
