NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
When elections officials in one county held an ‘I Voted’ sticker design contest, they didn’t expect it to go viral – and for monster spider-looking submission to win.
A 14-year-old boy’s artwork of a six-legged creature with red eyes, a pink and purple face and multi-colored hair and teeth won about 228,200 of the 243,000 votes cast, or 93%.
The five other front-runners – all following traditional red, white and blue or US government themes – each garnered 3% or less of the vote.
Roughly a week before the midterm elections, it became apparent that officials in Ulster County, New York, kept their promise of printing the winning stickers.
