You may feel your vote for president doesn't count if you don't live in Florida or Ohio. And I feel ya on that one. I'm not really sure my vote counts. But, there are lots of other elections going on today as well. We're voting on the county license commissioner, and on other local officials, as well as some state ammendments. I know that my vote will count on those issues.
In honor of election day, some restaurants are offering freebies to people who vote:
- Starbucks will give a free regular coffee to all who vote.
- Krispy Kreme is making star shaped glazed donut with red, white & blue sprinkles. You'll need to show your "I Voted" sticker to get this one.
- Shane's Rib Shack is giving away their American Value Meal: 3 chicken tenders, fries & a drink.
- Ben & Jerry's is giving away a free scoop from 5pm to 8pm.
These should not be the only reason you vote, but it could be a nice way to cap off standing in line at the polls.
Remember, if you don't vote, you can't complain for the next 4 years. I know several of you who don't plan on voting. I will be happy to remind you of this when you start complaining about the president in about 6 months. Hopefully if I remind you of this enough, you'll vote next time.
