Key Facts
The Big Race!
Imagine a giant race where millions of people pick who they want to be the leader of the United States! This isn't a race with running shoes, but with ballots. Every few years, grown-ups get to choose a President.

More People, More Votes!
Did you know that as the United States got bigger, more people got to vote? At first, not everyone could vote, but over time, more and more people were allowed to join in. This means that in newer elections, there are way more votes than in the olden days. Think of it like a school fair: the more kids who come, the more tickets are sold for the games!

That's more people than live in many big countries!
