Upload and Share Your Political Machine 2012 Candidates

Posted on Wednesday, August 1, 2012

One of the cool features of the Political Machine 2012 is the ability to create your own custom candidates.  We've seen some creative and quite unique characters created so far, but did you know you can upload and share them with others?

Just head over to WinCustomize and upload them there.

The character gallery is here - https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/political_candidates
