Search for a Quote using the Search Term "Vote". For example, I found:

A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.

Using the word Vote and the quote that you find, please create a graphically pleasing Mini Poster that will motivate your peers to vote in the upcoming election.
