I don't know if this is true for all polling places, but everywhere I've voted in Kalamazoo, almost always there have been rewards for showing up and voting. You have until 8 p.m.

They haven't always been great, but at least you got something. My rule of thumb? Always hold out for the cookie.

I got my chocolate chip cookie today. Heck, precinct 7 was great. I had my choice of Jolly Rancher watermelon candy, a Snickers bar or the chocolate chip cookie. I'm old school. I went for the cookie.

If your polling place doesn't have cookies, raise a stink, but not too much of a stink, as most of these folks are grandmothers, and you don't want to be a snot to someone's meemaw!
