No Sticker for You

Assuming you voted in New York, that is. Among others, m@ complained that he didn’t get a sticker. Well, as far as I know, New York has never done stickers. Gothamist looked into this and reported the same. I'm content just knowing I voted—as long as Starbucks still gives me my free coffee, of course (they did). For some reason, I make this strange connection between Election Day stickers and Ash Wednesday, which kind of turns me off to the whole idea of stickers. Plus, New York has to spend that money on WD-40 for the ancient fleet of lever machines.

Oh, and those people who had “I VOTED!” stickers on in NYC today? They’re bridge & tunnel folk. Keep your distance.

Dammit! I wish I would have seen that Gothamist article earlier. I'd definitely have printout out my own sticker! Nice...
