Elephants, Donkeys and Politics

This "Vote" image shows two voting booths in a gymnasium or polling place, one with an elephant voting and the other with a donkey voting. Who will prevail in this political vote...the elephant or donkey?

Vote

In this funny political "vote" photo a donkey and an elephant are using voting booths in a gymnasium to cast their ballots. I bet they are voting along party lines! The donkey represents democrats and the elephant represents republicans. I have always wondered why the donkey represents the Democratic party and the elephant represents the Republican party. The donkey representing democrats came about first. In 1828, when Andrew Jackson ran for president, his opponents referred to him as a "Jackass". Jackson's slogan was "Let the people rule." He turned the Jackass barb to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. Cartoonist Thomas Nast is credited with cartoons that utilized the donkey as democrat and the elephant as republican...and the mascots stuck!

The elephant and the donkey, representing the two major U.S. political parties, are used in this image to illustrate the concept of voting along party lines. There are two voting booths in a gym. One voting booth as the butt of a donkey protruding and the other has an elephant's butt sticking out through the red, white and blue curtains.
