A vote is a formal expression of opinion or choice made by an individual or body of individuals, especially in an election. Candidates for an election are allowed many methods to campaign for the votes of their people or constituents. Although campaign items are allowed, there are strict rules preventing electioneering with U.S. elections so that a person may not electioneer for or against any candidate, measure, or political party within 100 feet of a polling place. That means a button like this would no longer be acceptable to be worn while casting a vote in the voting booth.

Hallmark began in 1910 when Joyce Clyde Hall started selling postcards. He had little money—not even enough to take a horse-drawn cab to his lodgings at the YMCA—but he had an entrepreneurial spirit and the determination of a pioneer. Hall quickly made a name for himself with the picture postcards he sold. Rollie Hall joined his brother in business, and the company was named Hall Brothers. On January 11, 1915, a fire destroyed their office and inventory. They took the only salvageable item, their safe, and set up shop again. With $17,000 in debt, they decided to press onward. As postcard sales declined, they recognized the public’s desire for more privacy in their communication, so they started offering high-quality Valentine’s Day and Christmas cards mailed in envelopes. The fateful fire resulted in the Hall brothers’ decision to buy printing presses and begin producing their own greeting cards in 1915. Hallmark eventually made the move to manufacture and sell collectable memorabilia including pin-back buttons, most of which revolve around holidays and other special events.
