The sculpture, in the trendy 9th & 9th neighborhood, was defaced with an anti-establishment image of a pair of Nazi-like stormtroopers sporting armbands with what appeared to be imagery of the GOP elephant and Democratic donkey standing at the door of someone sitting on a toilet. Next to it were the words "Did You Vote?"
