Vote today and get free stuff

Mmmm...free donuts.

Not that most people need extra incentive to get out and vote today, but just in case: Krispy Kreme (store locator) is offering a free star-shaped donut (with patriotic sprinkles, no less) to anyone who shows up wearing an "I Voted" sticker.

Other freebies you can score using that all-powerful sticker:

A free tall coffee at Starbucks (YouTube ad)
A free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Some Chick-Fil-A stores are reportedly offering a free chicken sandwich.

I know this has nothing to do with tech, but who doesn't love free food and drinks? So get out and exercise your hard-won right to vote. And for heaven's sake, be civil to one other.
