CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Book, Inc. (www.worldbook.com), a leading publisher of nonfiction children's books, core reference, and digital learning platforms, today announced the addition of election editions to its portfolio of digital and print products.
The 2020 election is considered one of the most important elections in recent times, with monumentally high stakes. It is one of the closest races in modern U.S. history and saw record voter turnout. Many questions were raised by kids: Why doesn’t the popular vote determine who will be president? What are the different ways to cast a vote? Can an election be decided by the Supreme Court? What happens if a president isn’t declared in time for Inauguration Day?
