I voted and all I got was this lousy sticker

November 11, 2005 by elenamary

I voted on Tuesday.
I forget the whole story and even the saying but Napoleon has a great quote about the way to win people over is with small trinkets.
One of my favorite things about voting is the sticker I get after voting. I have two stuck to my monitor from previous elections. One sticker is a simple round slightly larger than a quarter sized sticker that says “I voted Today” and a check mark through a box. The other sticker is my favorite voting sticker it is also a round slightly larger than a quarter sized sticker with the outline of the Great state of Ohio with blue text letters “I Voted” and a big red check mark.

This Tuesday when I voted I excitedly went up to the election officials and asked for my sticker. And they handed me a tiny egg shaped sticker with “I voted” and a USian flag.
I asked about the Ohio stickers and they told me that they didn’t have them this year. To which I responded “Man, no Ohio Stickers and top of it a slightly facisit sticker!” The election official laughed patted me on the back and I walked away.

Man, the Ohio Board of Elections needs a good talking to from Napoleon.

    My friend voted (I didn’t – que pena) and the polling place told her they ran out of stickers. Man was she pissed. I couldn’t believe she was so pissed. Told me no one was ever gonna believe she voted if she didn’t have her sticker to prove it.
