Michigan Public Votes To Select New “I Voted” Stickers

Ars Technica reports:

You can’t just ask the Internet to vote on something and assume you’ll get a “normal” result. So, despite many years of cautionary tales, the state of Michigan this year launched a contest to design some new “I Voted” sticker designs. And they let the Internet weigh in on the results.

More than 57,000 people did so — and that’s why voters across the state, once they cast a ballot in this year’s presidential election, might be handed a round sticker featuring a werewolf ripping its own shirt to shreds as it throws its head back and howls like a maniac in front of an American flag. And it is glorious.

Michigan has selected nine winning stickers, including the werewolf. See the others in the video below.
