This just in: our most sacred of election-day traditions has finally crossed the threshold into America‘s subconscious – and not a moment too bloody soon.

Michael Rowland, co-presenter of ABC News Breakfast, is spearheading the #democracysausage movement from a polling station in Washington DC, where he took time out from reporting on the Clinton / Trump death-match to flip some snags on a portable BBQ.

The feeling is that, if American voters must be subjected to ballot papers that actually bear Donald Trump‘s name, the very least we can do is provide them with something delicious to help ease the pain.

It’s still early days but our contribution is already being hailed as the best gift we’ve bestowed on our friends since fairy bread and the Hemsworth bros.

Lets take some credit for it… or maybe claim it! One of our finest exports #democracysausage #electionday #aussietradition #auspol

Hahaha I see the traditional #democracysausage election day BBQ is being introduced to the US. You’ll thanks us later, America.

I predict that the rise of the #democracysausage in the US (you’re welcome, love Aus) will see the 100 million people who don’t vote show up

In the 1850s, Australian gave the US the “Australian ballot” (aka secret ballot). #democracysausage is the next logical step. #electionday

#democracysausage has made its way to the USA for #electionday I’ll say it, AUS’ best export. Big call since the Hemsworth’s still exist.
