    If I'm gonna get paid to vote then why not? I get two paid hours off of work to go and vote so I may as well take advantage.

    No. That is illegal, and you can get in trouble for even joking about it.

    Also, xxtraloud, do not ask who people voted for. If they wish to tell you, that is their choice.

    And i agree with 3rik, please do not turn this thread into THAT kind of thread. It's a surefire way to get it closed fast.

    I'll be taking a "field trip" around 2:00 as well.
    The lines in St. Boni this morning had to be 40 people deep - out the door of city hall.

    insanity.

    I am planning on heading to the poll around 1 or so on my way to class. Hopefully there is not a huge line.

    did you guys hear that you can get free coffee at starbucks if you tell them you voted? I heard this but havent verified it.

    it also looks like ben and jerry's is giving away a free scoop of ice cream for those who voted between 5-8pm.

    Yes, you can get a free tall cup of coffee from Starbucks. There is a ton of other free crap you can get too...Krispy Kreme (if you can still find one lol) is giving out free "election" donuts. Chik-fil-a is giving out free sandwiches. I heard someone at work say Wendy's is giving out free frosty's.

    just search "get free stuff for voting" on google :)
