I did this task on election day for the sheer joy of it and in the pure hope it would be added—and I checked the task list that morning I swear it wasn't there—or that I'd be able to talk someone into adding it back. Well, my faith was rewarded (in many ways that beautiful election day).

I wrote several notes:
"Hi there! Thanks for making today awesome!"

"Everything is going to be okay. Light and love and peace to you, voter!"

"V.O.T.E.R. with periods added, now it makes you seem like part of a really cool conspiracy like S.P.E.C.T.R.E. or C.O.B.R.A. or something. Except for GOOD."

"This note is just to say...VOTERS ARE AWESOME"

"Knock knock who's there? Voters are awesome. Voters are awesome who? That's it. Voting is no joke. THANKS!"


The voting booths are not very good booths, actually. They're totally not private--no curtain or anything. Which meant I'd need to place them discreetly and hopefully in such a way that they wouldn't be noticed instantly and either be removed or have some stuffy election judge demand to know what I was up to. Not to mention somehow tainting or causing them to say I was spoiling my ballot, especially relevant because the laws about leaving identifying characteristics on the ballots have come into play in the Franken/Coleman recount.

So I filled out the space with my bulk as best I could in order to cover my movements as I placed the notes on the "counter" and against the backstop of the "booth." I was excited, so very excited about the vote, but also to be tasking. I really took my time, going through the judges and downballot races (there are like fifty of em too) in order to shuffle my notes around the booth in different configurations.

I hope whoever got them next either took one and moved on or didn't report it.
