Art Against Voter Suppression

Red circular sticker that says $ Voted instead of I voted
The Hip Hop Action Coalition has set up voterid.us to share artistic works calling attention to the repressive Voter ID laws being considered in Minnesota and other states. They're open for submission of poems, songs, cartoons, posters, murals, dances, skits and videos.

So far, these are the two best posts.

I'm not sure who created the altered "I voted" sticker above, but this retro poster is by artist Ricardo Levins Morales:
1950s ad style poster of a white woman with a sparkling white men's shirt. Headline says Voter ID Brand, with lines that say Poll Whitener and Voter Deterrent
I have to get busy and make them something.
