There's a long--and growing--list of places who are offering freebies and treats to people who say they voted or who can show their "I Voted" sticker.

So rather than whine about people who can’t tell the difference between white parking zones and yellow ones or some nonsense like that, this week’s A&E Report is going to be one more massive nag-fest. So seriously, we mean it this time: vote.
