Arrr, the quarrel o'er a scoundrel's likeness be speakin' o' states' fears o' self-pictures o' vote papers an' swabs, showin' their choice fer all to see!
Arr, me hearties! There be a fierce debate brewin' among the landlubbers o'er somethin' they be callin' a candidate's photo. Aye, ye heard that right! They be arguin' 'bout whether it be right or wrong for a candidate to show off their face to the world.Now, ye might be wonderin' what this be havin' to do with us pirates. Well, it be all 'bout the fear these states have o' people takin' selfies with their precious ballots, or worse, showin' the world how they be castin' their votes. They be callin' it a concern, but I be thinkin' it be more like a fear of havin' their secrets be exposed.
But let me tell ye, mateys, this debate be truly amusin'. Don't these landlubbers know that we pirates have been takin' selfies since the days of ol' Blackbeard? Aye! We be takin' pictures with our treasure, our rum, and even with the booty we be plunderin' from our enemies. It be part of our pirate code!
So why be these states fussin' over selfies with a measly ballot? It be a mystery to me. But I reckon they be worried 'bout some scallywags tryin' to buy votes or showin' off their allegiance to a certain candidate. They be wantin' to keep their elections fair and square, like the lines on a treasure map.
But I say, let the people have their fun! If they be wantin' to snap a selfie with their ballot, so be it. It be their right as free sailors on this vast electoral sea. As long as they be keepin' their votes secret from the scurvy dogs who be tryin' to influence 'em, what harm be there in showin' a bit o' pirate pride?
So, me hearties, let us raise our grog-filled mugs to this debate over a candidate's photo. May it bring some much-needed laughter to these troubled times. And remember, whether ye be a sailor or a pirate, always vote with a hearty "Yo ho ho!"
