The residents in Madison, Wisconsin, have named the city's snowplows and the winning name submissions have been announced — these names may make you smile.
From Jan. 3 to Jan. 13, locals submitted over 1,200 ‘unique ideas.’
The contest used a ranked choice election, allowing people to cast their vote on more than one name. "We knew there was going to be multiple great suggestions, so it seemed a shame to have people only vote for one. More importantly, with ranked choice voting we knew that the winning names would have a majority of support from everyone that participated," Johnson commented.The contest has come to an end and the winners have been announced.
