3.     Use the “Compare Counties” feature to examine your home county with another (it can be either the first, last, or another of your choosing). Describe how your home county compares to the state as a whole. Tip: pick one health outcome and one health factor to compare across the counties and the state. 

4.     Go to the Action Center and explore the sections there. Based on the Governor’s elections concerns, you think that he might be questioned
