    Voting in the states is like pre-school for adults...here is your sticker...lol
    They do it in Canada too. The reason for it is pretty obvious, and it's not just a pat on the head at all. It's based on psychology.

    HA! She'll be in 'someone's' twitter feed.

    Surprised she snagged 2 stickers, there were only 3 left by me. Awesome idea for a pic though.

    Maybe less money on stickers and more money voting machines.  People in Detroit are being stalled and turned away due to broken machines.  I do not need a sticker to advertise I voted.  Whether someone votes or not is there business ... at least at one time that use to be the case.
    Actually, who someone votes for is no one's business and you cannot be compelled to disclose that. Pride in participating in the most important civic duty that a democracy has may feel wrong for you, but it feels good for others. So why piss on pride? If you are being turned away because of broken machines in Detroit - you should call 866-OUR-VOTE to report it. 
    given he is Canadian, his opinion means dogshit.

    No one has ever offered you one when you are leaving?  That's really strange.

    Nope. and never seen one at my polling place but i don't pay much attention to those types of things.  I'll have to ask others in my area if they have seen or gotten them.

    I have never been offered a sticker in all the years that I have voted, so I asked. There are two districts that vote in my voting place so I went to the other side of my son's grammar school gym and asked a bunch of people before I was pointed over to the end of a table where I finally found a nearly empty page of stickers. I wanted a sticker for once and when no one jumped up or was moderately eager to help me, I wasn't gonna leave without a freaking sticker.

    Walked in and out in five minutes - took the longest to get my sticker. But the number on my voter ticket was 3 x's higher than usual, especially for a midterm. Election volunteers said that there was above average first time voter and young people turnout. Awesome. And there are 4 hours left to vote, so still have the after work crowd. Didn't get to vote as a family, but everyone voted. Kinda bummer. Life.






    I’m actually a bit surprised they let you wear that shirt to the polling place.  Many states have laws that prevent people from wearing political clothing in polling places.

    I don't think it counts unless it's about the current candidates being voted for that day. There are only laws against campaigning at polling stations, which means campaigning for the people on the ballots. Nobody's going to be stopped from wearing a Nixon shirt or something, lol.

    True, lol!  I always thought it was just in regards to the current candidates as well, but also just read that a person wearing a Trump shirt had take it off and voted shirtless in South Carolina, so IDK.

    There were plenty of people wearing VOTE FOR BETO, GILLUM, ABRAMS shirts on the news at the polling places today. And MAGA hats. I had a jacket over my shirt since it's raining and shitty out here, but if not coming from work, I've always worn shirts that are political or in support of voting on election day. I doubt any of the people who couldn't find stickers would have confronted me.
