I'm willing to bet, as usual, it got posted on 4Chan or Reddit or something, and trolls from other places voted on it. I find it highly unlikely that even half of the residents voted on this.
This shows that if there's actually a cool option, people will overwhelmingly vote for it. Hence why we have two parties competing to pick the lamest lame-os imaginable for us to choose between.
I laugh at this as though, if it were a thing I could vote on for my own municipality, I would do anything but vote for it and enthusiastically wear it.
"But consider how funny it would be" is a major bug in democracy and I demand a patch.
I remember a talkshow host (don't remember which one) making a joke that we should be able to vote for a president and a "mascot" every election so that people could take the presidency seriously and still get a silly vote out of their system. Like, one to make boring decisions and the other to prance around with a flag and yell about stuff.
Michigan had a pretty fun one last time as well
This is art.
Horne.
I was pretty happy to get that one when i voted.its on my wallet now anf has seen better days.
Wtf, I didn't get one of those. They must have went fast.
The city clerk's office should have all the options if you swing by.
My polling place also didn't have one. Felt so cheated lmao
There are two wolves inside you. One of them wants you to vote, the other doesn't want you to vote.
Wait, the population of Ulster County is only 183,000! STOP THE COUNT! RIGGED ELECTION! DEAD PEOPLE ARE VOTING! /s
I thought you were joking but that’s actually true. No census has ever placed the population of Ulster County above 183,300, according to Wikipedia.
Nobody said the contest voters had to be registered voters in that county. I'm guessing fellow students and families voted, too.

why they're scared of Zohran Mamdani
But did they follow through with the stickers?
As a former resident of the area, yes, they absolutely did. And they were glorious.
Were there no Boomers or Karens who were appalled by these?
Democracy is amazing when it’s something mundane like naming boats and deciding on stickers.
That'd get me to definitely vote if I was hesitant. That's metal as fuck
None of the competition had a chance. Legend.
Absolutely beautiful
Proud 'o you M'boy
I remember this little abomination lol

Maybe that's the patch for this type of thing.
I would unironically support this.
