Louisiana voters were given a special "I voted" sticker this election year featuring George Rodrigue’s iconic Blue Dog. Residents who voted early on Election Day were handed the sticker with the famous wide-eyed Blue Dog sitting in front of an American flag. The image was created by Rodrigue in 2001, and the Louisiana Secretary of State’s Office hoped the sticker would draw higher participation this election cycle. But getting a special-edition sticker wasn’t enough for some voters. The stickers soon started to appear on eBay by users attempting to sell them. Some of the Rodrigue stickers are going for nearly $18. According to Rodrigue Studios, the original painting is part of a series of patriotic works created in honor of Sept. 11, 2001. The painting belongs to the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art. Neither Rodrigue Studios nor the Secretary of State’s Office have commented about the stickers being sold on eBay. The studio says on its website that the stickers are available only at the polls and not for purchase.
