Why stop there? The flag icon looks suspiciously
like a near exact replica of the state flag of Ohio. We should have icons for the other US states, the Canadian provinces, Swiss cantons, Japanese prefectures, Australian states, and all other global political subdivisions.
Here's my take:
If this is the same Ohio flag I remember, this flag on "I voted" looks even less like Ohio's flag than it does the US flag. The angle between the blue area (on which the stars rest) and the red and white stripes is such that a claim of it being more like the Ohio flag than the US flag is a canard. I suggest searching for yet another flag to try to make a point.
