There's a lot at stake for Michigan voters, considering the state is one of the seven key swing states that could help decide the 2024 presidential election. For many, though, their most pressing concern? Getting a coveted werewolf "I Voted" sticker. Before the polls even opened, Western Michigan's Ottawa County Election Supervisor Katie Bard told local news station Fox 17, "We probably get five calls a day at our office just about this. And I know our locals are also getting a lot of calls." Demand is so high for the "unhinged" drawing, which is one of 4 million unique stickers, along with other winning designs, being distributed to the 7.2 million active registered voters, that a single sticker is even being sold on eBay for $36, WGRD 97.9 reports.
Jane Hynous, 12, of Grosse Pointe, drew the werewolf ripping off its shirt in front of an American flag. She based her work on a meme and, according to the New York Times, “didn’t want to do something that usually you think of when you think of Michigan." Her sketch is one of nine chosen works from Michigan's sticker design contest, which was held in the spring and received 57,700 public votes, according to the Michigan Department of State. Another winner, 10-year-old Katelyn Stouffer-Hopkins, created the "I'm Cool I Voted" sticker. "It made me feel incredibly happy because I made this," the elementary schooler told Fox 17 of getting selected from the 480 submissions. "My friends at school know that I'm famous."
Michigan's contest went viral, yet it's not the first kid-designed sticker to make headlines. A surreal-looking purple spider sticker, courtesy of the Ulster County, N.Y., competition, made the internet lol during the 2022 midterm elections. There's also Kentucky's "Lizard Man," which lost to a horse illustration.
Contests like these are held throughout the United States to inspire young people to engage in the democratic process — and make it fun for all. From a smiling cat giving a thumbs-up to a llama wearing rainbow sunglasses, here are some of the best Election Day stickers.

Donald Trump ended his 2024 campaign rallies with a bang early on Tuesday morning in Grand Rapids, Michigan, describing his not-so-subtle feelings about former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The former president was speaking after a consecutive day of rallies on Monday; his appearance in Michigan—he spoke after midnight—was his last stop before voters take to the ballot box. “She‘s a crooked person, she‘s a bad person. Evil! she’s an evil, sick, crazy...” the former president said, then breathed th
Last minute polling out of Iowa appears to have rattled Donald Trump, who was initially projected to win the deep-red Hawkeye State. The GOP presidential nominee slammed unfavorable numbers for his campaign released Saturday and accused the pollster Ann Selzer, who is regarded as being highly accurate with last-minute polling in Iowa, of being a “Trump hater.” “No President has done more for FARMERS, and the Great State of Iowa, than Donald J.

Donald Trump, who said in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he regrets leaving the White House in 2021, is ending the 2024 campaign the way he began it – dishing out a stew of violent, disparaging rhetoric and repeated warnings that he will not accept defeat if it comes.
Shortly before former President Donald Trump's unlikely return to the Democratic stronghold of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday -- just five days ahead of Election Day, Albuquerque's Democratic Mayor Tim Keller sent a special welcome message for the former president.

We are okay to disagree with eac
