As an outsider viewing in from all, I have to say these stickers are so fucking cool! Was there some kind of a contest to have kids draw pictures and finalists were picked? Does this always happen in Michigan?

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yup, there was a contest. I think it was our first time, and I honestly think that it's had a degree of impact on voter turnout, specifically because people fucking love the werewolf one.

They were out of it when I dropped my ballot off, and I'm actively a little sad about not getting that sticker.

I voted by mail and didn't get a single sticker. My life is in shambles.

Were I a Michigander, I'd choose either the trout or the wide-eyed dog. But they are all super rad.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

The dog(?) one is my fav too.

I didn't know about the fish.. I want it.

I guess first order of business is to get rid of the electoral college so other states matter, but second order of business is every state gets badass stickers.

My polling place had none of the contest stickers, I was so disappointed

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like how one is just a fish lol

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Georgia had four different stickers available during early voting on Friday, which was nice because I could pick something other than the asinine, propagandistic "I secured my vote" one that they've been shoving down our throats the last few elections.

I wish I had thought to collect them. My daughter grabbed a full set, but I fear she probably used them.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

What does Georgia's stickers look like?

I'm sorry you missed your chance to collect! Maybe you could request that someone who hasn't voted yet today pick you up some? It's not too late!

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They let you vote 8 times?

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Nah, but I got there early and it was full of elderly folks who didn't even glance at the stickers. The guy was nice enough to allow me to take what I wanted! (:
