New Hampshire PBS has hosted student mock elections for general elections and mid-term elections since 1996. It began sponsoring primary mock elections in 2000. New Hampshire students have correctly predicted the winners in New Hampshire in all those elections, with the exception of the 2000 presidential election when they picked Al Gore by a tiny margin over George W. Bush.
