Back in the 1800s, before secret ballots were common, it was quite normal for party hacks to give voters a shot of whiskey in exchange for their vote.

How about Starbucks bringing some free coffee to the people that volunteer as election officials at the polls? That is where I want my coffee. I won't be able to make it to Starbucks, I can't leave until the polls close.

#2 I work at Starbucks - I'll bring you some coffee. Which polling place are you working at? I'll even bring you a soy Pumpkin Spice Latte with no whip if that is what you want. i get out of work at 9am tomorrow. i'll come right over.

Add free ice cream from any Ben and Jerry's as well to the list of growing free things because of voting.

My favorite voting perk is Australia's "free not having to go to jail and/or pay a fine."

Starbucks brewed coffee is the most horrid, burnt shit since a bag of dog poop on your doorstep.

If everyone in the city votes, will they bring back the Sonics?

Bastards.

No thanks. The last thing I'll need tomorrow is coffee. The likelihood of a stroke is already going to be high, and caffeine will surely put me right over the edge.

@12 - if you've voted, you still get the free scoop and the free coffee. Including absentees.

I wonder if they'll honour this here at my local Vancouver Starbucks.
