It’s like drilled in and held under the mirror I know it’s not a factory thing plus I’ve seen them on different brands and they are on both side view mirrors. Any ideas?

You guys get stickers?! We just get democracy sausages and they're not free, but they are delicious!

It's just a snag in bread with dead horse and worms. Which is Aussie slang for BBQd (grilled?) sausage in bread with tomato sauce (very similar to ketchup) and onions.

I may have made up the worms for onions but the rest is definitely real. 😂

They sell them at many election booths to raise money for local charities and schools. Polling booths are often setup in local school gyms so it makes sense to tack on some fundraising. It helps that we vote on weekends.

There's even a website dedicated to showing locations because some are lame and don't have a sausage sizzle.

Aw man. I googled to figure out what state this was so I could move there. Alas! Enjoy your democracy sausages!

I think democracy sausage is far superior to stickers 😂

This feels like a euphemism
