Description
We created a voting booth for the 2008 Presiential election. With the race so tight and our state being a crucial state in the election, we decided to see how our neighborhood would vote. So we created a Voting Booth where people vote by putting candy in the slot for thier favorite candidate .. we made sure we had an undecided slot too!

Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
