Plenty of businesses are offering specials related to Election Day. Check out this story about how offering freebies for voting is a violation of the law. As the story points out, “Leave it to the law to spoil all the fun.”
Most businesses figured out a way to get around the law by offering general Election Day specials and not requiring people to actually show their “I Voted” sticker.
Truly, how many people are motivated solely to vote based on getting free coffee from Starbucks or free ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s? I’d like to think people are voting because it’s their duty as U.S. citizens, but, I guess, whatever works … I am, by the way, going to Starbucks this afternoon for my free coffee (but I would have voted anyway!) 🙂
