Thank you for all your entries. Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:
"Dear, I don`t think it wants your ballot. It wants more money for light rail!"
"That's the thing responsible for electing the 2nd and 6th presidents -- the Adams Family."

"When I was a kid up in Madison County, that hand would have had five dollars in it!"
"Don't be afraid, It's only your RIGHT to vote."
"Don't worry, Edgar -- this is much safer than those computerized voting machines they're using in Ohio!"
