About Us
At Gone2Shit, our mission is simple - make high quality paper products out of America’s rejected mail-in ballots. Every election cycle, hundreds of thousands of ballots are denied by election officials in America. Normally that paper (and that vote) goes to waste. But not anymore! Our products are made right in the U.S.A. and supplies depend on the election.
And, of course, all of this is made up. You can’t get access to rejected ballots, and you definitely can’t turn them into toilet paper. But ballot rejection is real. And it could have a real impact on our election.
Voting by mail is a safe, secure, and effective way to make your voice count. Get to know your state’s mail-in ballot deadlines, dates, and rules above.
What our customers think
Douglas Furr – Flagstaff, AZ
“When I heard about Gone2Shit’s toilet paper, I was skeptical. Could toilet paper made from America’s rejected mail-in ballots really clean my can like I need it to? Well, consider me convinced! ”
Elvira Winklebettom – Jupiter, FL
“Wowee! These sturdy plates were as round and as white as advertised. I put some baby back ribs on them, ate those baby back ribs, then threw the dirty plate in the garbage. Two barbecue covered thumbs WAY up!”
Henry Kamako – Pittsburgh, PA
“This is a joke to make voters aware of mail-in ballot rules. Please, please, please make sure you follow every one of your state’s mail-in ballot instructions, so your vote doesn’t go to waste. ”
