...to your clothes:
Bonoff says the "I voted today" sticker he was handed and asked to wear after voting in the March 2 presidential primary ruined his suede coat.

Bonoff said he showed the coat to a dry cleaner who said the sticker's mark cannot be removed. He has filed a claim with the city seeking $106, the purchase price of the coat, including sales tax.

When the damage was brought to her attention, Democratic Registrar of Voters Alice Fortunato said she told Bonoff to get the coat cleaned and bill the city. When that didn't work, she forwarded his case to the city attorney.

"I'm very sorry that he feels that the sticker ruined his coat," she said. "But there's not much this office can do in that regard."

Sorry about the jacket. It is definitely unwise to put any type of sticker on suede, no matter who gave it to you. I'm thinking he could just put his "voting jacket" in the closet...until the next election.
