Camera Work/Technical: I'll echo what is already here...nothing looks focused. I do see that the label is focused, but your DOF gives the illusion that the total image is out of focus.
Lighting: Too harsh with a washed out background.
Composition/Content: The angle of your crop is uncomfortable.
My Opinion: Looking through your portfolio, there are some very strong, well-executed images there. You obviously know how the voters vote and you are very capable of producing strong images. I am at a loss trying to understand what you were after here.
I found the subject to be uninteresting photographically. Also when doing such a close-up, you need to be sure that the image is tack sharp, which this one isn't. Your exposure is fine, but the angle also seems a bit unattractive.
