I have this weird plan to dissuade fascists from voting. It’s totally legal and I kinda think it could work.
-
we buy rolls of “I Voted” stickers off Amazon
-
On Election Day, we go to polling places in swing states. Pick a district that’s heavily fash, and with long lines.
-
As people line up outside, go down the line and hand out the stickers. People in line get frustrated by the wait, but they figure “I already have the sticker. I can post on social. Good enough.” They go home without voting.

The fascists lose.
I don’t think this is totally nuts. And as long as it’s just a generic “I Voted” sticker it’s totally legal. What do y’all think?
Tbh I think the zine is more likely to get you in trouble. Many states ban any kind of campaigning within a certain distance of a polling place. But I don’t think handing out “I Voted” stickers would qualify as campaigning. A zine, on the other hand …
There’s markers that clearly mark where you can and can’t do “electioneering”. Poll greeting at busy locations is common. You’ll be fine.
