Back in July, Ulster County, New York, held a contest to determine what an “I Vote” sticker would look like in this year’s general election. 14-year-old Hudson Rowan’s design won the competition by a 93 percent margin, a democratic expression that warms our hearts: a bulging red eye with multicolored hair and teeth and six blue spider legs.

Kaylie Rogers told the internet that the confetti spider monster has now burrowed into the sticker and tweeted a stunning photo of an officer holding a roll of sticky spider heads, as well as on the Daily Free Daily Freeman about how the design helped drive the car. high turnout.”
The election inspector said weekend early voting was much higher than “he expected hundreds of people a day” and thought that “a lot of people were excited about getting spider stickers.”

The article mentions that “there is a lot of hype among voters about stickers and early voting” and quoted one voter as saying the project was “very welcome.”
The design was so popular that it not only excited voters, but was immortalized in the form of a tattoo in the village of New Paltz by Ulster County Deputy Mayor Alexandria Wojcik.
