My name is Rob Gould. I'm a single, urban dwelling advertising geek. I'm a new media junky, trend spy, art world dabbler, and a sartorial striver with a considerable appetite for news and pop culture in all forms. I like to talk. Some people like me. My personal house of urban angst currently migrates between Portland, ME & NYC but has traveled with me over the years to Boston, Burlington VT, London, San Diego, Rockland, ME & Santa Fe. Much like a Gulfstream with tasteful decor and a vast insecurity complex. You can find me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/rob.gould, Twitter: @bobbbyg and Instagram: www.instagram.com/bobbbyg. You can also find the professional (and very serious) me at www.bobbbyg.com.
Electoral Dysfunction | Where’s the pill for this affliction?
“Our long national nightmare of a presidential campaign comes to a close today with our quadrennial day of unity, when over 100 million of us — Democrats, Republicans, maybe even some of the chronically undecided from those cable news focus groups — will go to the polls. No more recrimination, no more vitriol. “We the people” will come together quietly but resolutely to express our will. Simple as that.”
“Sorry, must have been dreaming there. It’s very possible that a whole new nightmare will unfold, because casting a ballot in this country is anything but simple.”
In an Op-Docs video, the designer Todd Oldham reviews the design of election ballots from across the United States.
