Said Hudson Rowan, 14, who entered the Ulster County competition to design the new "I VOTED" sticker, quoted in "What Has 6 Legs, 2 Eyes and 158,500 Votes? This 'I Voted’' Sticker. 'This is how we all feel about politics right now,' a Twitter user wrote of one submission for a New York county’s 'I voted' sticker design contest" (NYT).
An "I VOTED" sticker is supposed to reinforce the values of democracy. You walk around on Election Day in your city or town, and you see your neighbors wearing their stickers, and you think — they want you to think — these are all good people, doing their best, hoping, working, coming together to select our representatives. Surely, they read the newspapers, they talked earnestly and openly with one another and thought deeply about what we need as a group, and they made the effort to arrive at their polling place and to do their little part, contributing to the welfare of the community.

It's a voting sticker and they put it up for a vote — along with 5 other submissions from teenagers. You can see them all here. The rest are respectfully sedate, reflecting the concept of voting as a civic duty. In the predictable style of internet voting — need I say "Boaty McBoatface"? — the wild-eyed voter-insect has 93% of the vote.

But that's not the message with Hudson Rowan's "I VOTED" guy. You see that sticker and you think something more like: Oh, my God, everyone's nuts and we're trusting them to pick the lunatics who will govern us!
But I salute Hudson Rowan. He didn't just follow the assignment. He transformed it. And he got out his own message — a message worth thinking about, scaring us about democracy.
