    Same here. But I did wear my tartan tie. Does that count for something?

Do they do that in other areas?
    Most well run bars in this fair city will shoot ya' a free beer when you show your voting receipt.

    AA,

    Isn't Chicago the first place to offer voting rights for the deceased?

    I heard something this morning about these promotions, I found the following after a short google search:

    “To ensure we are in compliance with election law, we are extending our offer to all customers who request a tall brewed coffee,” said Starbucks’ spokeswoman Tara Darrow.

    Well, there has been some talk about the fact that the deceased or, more politically correctly, the group that precinct captains refer to as "Previously-Living-Americans" have lobbied strenuously to retain their voting rights. Of course the fact that Election Day follows close on the heels of Halloween has done a lot to popularize this notion.

    Gin and Tonic have had a spotty record and dubious political links since their start. That's why I'm supporting the only logical candidate,

    VODKA PRESS

    Reliable, who has been there for us through thick and thin. Gin and Tonic would be nowhere without Vodka Press!

    Sorry, Jamie, but I went with the Single Malt party and their candidate Talisker. Just had to vote along party lines.

    I wore my kangaroo-skin hat, dark green shirt; black belt, sporran, hose & shoes; and WPG Gordon Highlanders kilt. The election judge got all the way through "Sir, this is an American election!" before breaking up.

    Yes...but don't forget that they refer to the procedure as "The Australian Ballot"!
