Museum should allow “write-in” votes

1 Comment

To follow up my earlier post, remember when they wanted to rename the Peoria Chiefs? They had all kinds of ridiculous-sounding names, and everyone wrote in “Chiefs.” Guess what? They stuck with “Chiefs.” I wish we could do that with the Peoria museum. As a recent commenter pointed out, that’s what everyone is going to call it anyway — why not formalize it?

I have some other ideas for write-in votes, too. Remember, this is all in fun, okay? My intentions are not nearly as mean-spirited as the names may sound:

  • CATastrophe Museum
  • SNOOZEum
  • Midwest Ambiguous Museum of Miscellany
  • Museum on the Old Sears Block

Incidentally, I’ve noticed on the “Name the Museum” website that they don’t use radio buttons — the kind that allow you to choose only one item in a list — but rather the little checkboxes so you can choose as many options as you like. Interesting choice of coding; I’ll have to assume it was intentional, but I don’t know why. Until they add a “Peoria Museum” or at least a “None of the Above” choice, I’m not voting.

One thought on “Museum should allow “write-in” votes”

  1. Who says you can’t vote for “none of the above.” Do what I did:

    1. Go to the site.
    2. Don’t check any box.
    3. Enter your name as “None Oftheabove”
    4. Leave any old email address (doesn’t have to be valid)
    5. Get creative in the address line.
    6. Press submit.
