looks like they mostly asked high school kids and only at 'participating' schools. The two main public high schools in Santa Cruz weren't on the list - only the charter schools.

how would the results look different if they let us college students in on the fun?

my guess is that Peace and Freedom and the Greens would be one and two instead of three and four.
