Votercon

I went to vote yesterday, and it was kind of boring. Very bland. Vanilla.

I spoke to a friend who works for a company that hires him to dress as Spiderman, so I suggested that voting would be more fun if he dressed up as spiderman in the voting booth.

He said to me, why don’t we have Votercon, where people come to the polls dressed as their favorite character. That would encourage people who don’t normally vote to come out and vote. And better yet, they can reuse their still fresh Halloween costumes.

I think it’s a great idea, but the woman at the voting booth said she thinks their might be a problem with identification. People might try to dress up as “someone else”. I think that’s silly and not really a problem.

Long story short, I want to make Votercon 2018 happen. If anyone knows anyone in politics or community organizing, send them my way. I’d like to converse with them.

Let me know your thoughts. Stay tuned for an indigogo or gofundme campaign.
