I got a good chuckle at the polls today.

[Bill of Rights]

I went in and voted. Showed my little postcard, signed it, showed my ID, got the electronic card and stuck it in the machine. Second screen that popped up was the "straight ticket" screen:

​

OK, that makes sense:

• An eagle for the Republicans...
• The Statue of Liberty for the Libertarians...
• And a chicken (or perhaps a "cock"?) for the Democrats.

Blessings,
Bill

Fitting, isn't it?

That surprised me the first time I was an Election Judge, back in the 90s. Apparently the Rooster is an old symbol for the Democrats - possibly from the campaign promise "a chicken in every pot"?

That was actually a Republican slogan.

And I thought the Libertarian symbol was supposed to be a dandelion.

Chicken in every pot...

Chickens are good to munch on....

Democrats are stupid...

I belive that is a cock....

Stupid cock munching Democrats.

Looks like the rooster stuff started right here in Indiana, maybe.

The Rooster: Its Origin as the Emblem of the Democratic Party

He owes us all a drink, too late to pay up though.

Every other place in the country, it's a jackass...

All of the above, IMHO....

No way, the Libertarian symbol is a store full of full auto sbr's that are about $300 a pop because the government isn't messing with the supply side of the pricing.

It doesn't really translate very well to the little digital grey voting machine icon. That's probably why we haven't made more headway.
