Jane Hynous was bored watching “National Treasure” in her social studies class, so she pulled out a few markers and drew the first quirky image that entered her mind: a werewolf.
That June morning, the 12-year-old had learned that her state of Michigan was holding a competition for the best custom election stickers. Jane drew the werewolf ripping off its blue shirt while howling, with the words “I VOTED” in the background above an American flag......
“I just wanted to do something that was going to be, I guess, funny and not so serious,” Jane, a seventh-grader, told The Washington Post. “Because, you know, voting is such a serious topic, and you want to have something fun that’s going to lighten it up.”
That is a way to get children involved even though they cannot vote.
