At the end of the school day when all the votes had been counted by Denunzio's class, Clinton won with 52 percent of the vote and Trump was the runner-up with 34 percent.
Johnson garnered 7.5 percent and Stein got 6.5 percent.
Since 1940, the student vote has accurately predicted all but two presidential elections, according to Scholastic, the educational publishing company. The two incorrect predictions were Thomas Dewey over President Harry Truman in 1948 and Richard M. Nixon over John F. Kennedy in 1960.
Scholastic's results from students across the country this year were almost exactly the same as the result at Lorane Elementary School.

"I'm here vouching for Mrs. Clinton, and I think it's high time somebody did," Weld said.

"I see a big difference between the R candidate and the D candidate and I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr. Trump should be elected," Weld said. "It's a candidacy without any parallel that I can recall. It's content-free and very much given to stirring up envy and resentment and even hatred. And I think it would be a threat to the conduct of our foreign policy and our position in the world at large."

Weld also said he believes Trump is "psychologically" unstable, a bully and incapable of "competently managing the office of the presidency."

For Clinton, on the other hand, he had nothing but kind words. This was a clear break with his running mate, Gary Johnson, who has attacked both candidates.

"I've known her for 40 years. I've worked with her. I know her well, professionally," Weld said. "I know her well personally. I know her to be a person of high moral character, a reliable person and an honest person, however so much Mr. Trump may rant and rave to the contrary. So, I'm happy to say that, and people can make their own choices."

Asked about a campaign press release sent in the wake of the FBI announcement that was critical of Clinton, Weld said: "Gary and I have not agreed on a number of substantive issues in this campaign ... I do not agree with that release."
