Summary
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that the state is on track to break its voter turnout record, with 45.8% of registered voters having already cast early or absentee ballots.
As a critical battleground, Michigan could play a key role in deciding both the presidential race and control of Congress. Polling averages show Vice President Harris narrowly leading Trump in the state.
Michigan also hosts an important Senate race to replace retiring Democrat Debbie Stabenow and several competitive House contests.
Polls remain open until 8 p.m.
The only downside to being a permanent absentee voter is that I didn’t get one of these.
I actually dropped mine off at the township clerks office just so I could get one of the new stickers.
Sadly, they were out of the werewolf.
Honest to God I think these stickers might be a significant driver for the increased turnout.
Can you imagine if a 12 year old saved democracy with werewolf art?
As a European I’m low key considering looking for one on EBay after the election. It’s one for the history books.
I accidentally grabbed 2. I could be sitting on a gold mine!
IDK, they’re talking about dancing going on at some polling locations. That sounds fun.
Some states mail a sticker with the ballot.
(yes, this is legitimately one of the available stickers, and I was super pumped about it)
But Owen…you’re Canadian…! :-O
What state/locale is this sticker from? I very much admire this sense of humor. Were the other options as entertaining?
Michigan, and that’s where Jordan’s werewolf came from too. They’re all pretty fantastic. Someone in another thread paired their cat sticker with a Harris Walz cat hat.
Ah, I see now. Thank you for the link. They are indeed wonderful, but I love the simplicity of Owen’s. All are heaps nicer than ours which now seem boring.
Originally Canadian, but a dual citizen now. I’m one of those immigrants who came and stole a job.
I wore that with pride today at work.
I think it’s earned a place of honor on my work badge.
Ours was cute
Non-american here, what does the werewolf represent? (Or is it just because it’s cool?)
Michigan had a contest to design an “I Voted” sticker, the winning design was from a 12 year old.
You’re from MI? You related to a Jacob? Won’t ask or say anything further.
Nope, I’m in Oregon, our sticker is boring. :)
Could be related to a Jacob. Grand dad was one of 12 kids and 11 survived to adulthood. Sooo… 🤷♂️ I can’t keep track of everybody.
Okay. Well meh then. Not a small world. Which is fine.
I so wanted one of these. And I’m in NC.
That sticker makes me wish I lived in Michigan and voted in person.
