On one hand, this could likely get more people to go vote. But, on the other hand, I'm not sure what kind of voter would be motivated by just a hand-drawn I voted sticker alone
(For anyone with poor logic skills that's taking this personally, I'm not considering people that were already going to vote and want the sticker, just the ones that might vote now that weren't going to before)
I'm going to rely on the data saying more voters = more Dem wins, but I'm not entirely convinced. I'm inclined to think they may be even dumber than the mythical undecided voters
It'll bring up the young vote quite a bit, I'd guess. Remember some people are disinterested in the voting process because they don't think their vote will change anything. It doesn't mean they aren't informed or that they're idiots. It's a silly sticker, but that could really boost the 18-24 vote. I'm all for it.
I agree with your premise (disinterested voters exist) and think your conlusion is debatable (the idiots part at least), but I encourage your optimism and wholeheartedly agree with your goals!
