Napolitano Launching Online Voting On Arizona Quarter Design

I love #3... awesome design. #2 would be a close second for me. As a non-Arizonan, (I have visited), the Grand Canyon and cactus are things I always remember/associate with Arizona, so I would like to see either of those designs. Very cool website, thanks for the link!

Tim.
Sorry all I get is a mess of nothing but numbers maybe because I did not vote for her I can not see the new designs.

Bruce,
Try Morgan Fred's Link right above your post. His link should take you right to it.
I just voted. I like #3 the best

I like #3.

BTW, it seems from the link that they are accepting the "poll" with no limitations on what state you are from. I was under the impression this was an Arizona only questionnaire?

Yeah, it appears that way - anyone can vote. And can vote as often as they want. I don't see how they could lock out non-Arizonies since so many folk have dynamic (floating) IP addresses which don't necessarily represent their actual location - since I'm on satellite, my IP leads back to Maryland.

Just to see if I could, I voted a second time and it went through. No nasty pop-up windows threatening me with mortal danger for vote tampering. I suspect this poll is more of a publicity and PR stunt than anything that will actually lead to a decision on the quarter's design.

I live in Scottsdale and no design would be complete without the most common critter found around these parts this time of year.
Where's the picture of the ubiquitous "SNOW-BIRD" ?
After all, they pay the rent...

FYI: I'm for #1, because we're just grand.

Avery, a warm welcome to the forum and to another Zonie!

Technically, I'm a snowbird since I live in the desert in winter (LaPaz Co, not near anywhere but in the middle of nowhere), move up to the mountains (Prescott, then Coconino National Forests) in summer. The coin designers are more than welcome to use my portrait on the AZ quarter as representative of a snowbird - I can guarantee that folks would much prefer to circulate the coin rather than collect it. Anything to get rid of it! It would get all those quarters into circulation rather than hoarding.

I live in a tiny RV semi-boondocking park in the desert - 40 units (30 occupied) on 40 acres (we're well spread out, not packed tighter than sardines - see https://goccf.com/t/13388 which includes a pic of my park). The real snowbirds have mostly left for cooler climes (Alberta, NH, MT, WA, OR, Quebec, OH, NY, ND, etc) leaving the rest of us, mostly fulltimer RVers with easier access to the showers and laundry. I love them all, but they bring their home habits with them, especially lack of sensitivity on water usage - four loads of laundry per week for two people is a luxury our ground water supply can't afford. But laundry seems to be an obsession with some women. I'm the park's water system operator, but I can't seem to get the notion of water conservation across to them; it is not necessary to wash a towel or pair of blue jeans after one day's use. With total rainfall about 2" since last September, none of which made it into groundwater levels, our wellwater level has dropped another two feet in the past year. [/soapbox]
