And now for something a little different

Posted in:

* NY Times

Plenty of the submissions in a statewide contest to design Michigan’s next “I Voted” sticker featured cherry blossoms or American flags fluttering in the wind.

Only one entry, however, depicted a werewolf clawing its shirt to tatters and howling at an unseen moon. A smattering of stars and stripes poke out from behind its brawny torso.

“I Voted,” reads a string of red, white and blue block letters floating above the creature’s open maw.

The illustration, which was created by Jane Hynous, a 12-year-old from Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., was revealed on Wednesday as one of nine winning designs that the Michigan Department of State will offer local clerks to distribute to voters in the November election.

Personally lobbied for this sticker with my City Clerk. If there is ever a year to have an unhinged werewolf ripping its shirt off as the “I Voted” sticker…it’s 2024. https://t.co/ZIXxBYMDuk pic.twitter.com/swyb5ok3xO

  2. Who do we talk to to get Illinois to do a contest like this?

  3. I love these types of things. The Illinois Reddit page has been hilarious lately with the mostly fake new flag submissions.

  4. On top of being fun, it’s a good voter turnout strategy. I always vote, but if I didn’t, I would be tempted to go to get the werewolf sticker.

  5. I like the “Ope, I voted” one, too.

  7. Not going to lie, the downgrade from the Cook County voted sticker for McLean’s voted sticker was one of the most disappointing things about my move years back.

    Get your game on, McLean.

    If MI can use more than three colors on their I VOTED stickers, why can’t we use more than three on our flag? Flags trump stickers. Rules? Who needs stinking rules?

  9. I want one that looks like a punch card and says “Voted early, voted often”.

  10. Seems like a question-of-the-day option
