Hang onto those cute, little "I Voted" stickers and reward yourself for being such a good citizen because some businesses are offering special Election Day deals on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
Amoeba Records: Show your "I Voted" sticker or voting stub at any Amoeba store on November 8 and get $3 off any item regularly priced $5 or more. (Discount can't be combined with other offers; discount not valid online.)
