Great badge!
For I Voted/Yo Voté Blinky Badge Soldering Kit
I worked as a poll worker in 2020. This badge was a hit among all the other poll workers and staff at my polling place. The LEDs were super-bright and used a lot of power - definitely worth using a rechargeable LIR2032 because it burns through one in a few hours of continuous use. One suggestion for future versions is variable brightnesses for the LEDs. The LIR2032s I used were made of a nonferrous metal and therefore were not sufficiently attractive to the magnets that were intended to be the main mount method, which is no fault of the badge design, but I wasn't expecting it. In the end I used a thin wire tie (like the kind you get in a supermarket) slipped through the battery holder and twisted around a lanyard I was wearing around my neck anyway, so it worked out.

Thanks for your review! Good point on the constant-on battery life - they lasted for a couple of days for us on blinking mode, but solid on consumes more current. We also recently found some stick-on pins we really like, so future orders will ship with those as a mounting option as well (sticking it to the back of the battery holder). Thanks for working the polls and I'm glad everyone liked it! :)
