Ya, but we did just that. We already did drafts of new plates and put it to a public vote a few years ago. Then the government didn't go forward with it anyways, so it was wasted.
Now we seem to be voting on free MSPaint'esque designs from a supplier likely bidding to supply the coating/paint for the plates. It's almost as if someone was cc'd on an e-mail from 3M with some drafts showing their paint capability, then wanted to impress the boss by saying hey... these are awesome even though I'm a lawyer and don't know anything, let's proceed.
Anybody know where the plate designs are from the first vote?
