mock elections

Don't you think mock elections in elementary school is a little much? Kids this age don't understand the issues or have well-developed opinions on either candidate. They just parrot their parents (not that there's anything wrong with that at their age.) I think it's important to discuss the election process, how our government works, and some issues surrounding the election. I draw the line at mock elections, especially since many of the not-for-profits that sponsor such school elections receive results and then know how to cater their last-minute campaigning in your area based on children's (read: parent's) "results." Does no one else worry about this?
