Cook County elections officials hope a new voter education campaign featuring a pair of cartoon characters √£ “Chad” and “Dimples” √£ will help local polling places avert the kind of chaos that occurred in parts of Florida after the last presidential election.
Chad and Dimples are the creations of Rob Janoff, a Chicago advertising designer.
“If we don’t break free from this ballot, these votes won’t count. Don’t leave us hanging,” the two characters cry in one animated commercial as they free fall from a giant floating ballot.
I think these characters are great. I want to pick up as much Chad and Dimple propaganda as I can. This is something that you will show your grandkids years from now. It’s an event of our times.
