Well, it's finally Election Day here in the old Land of the Free, and what better way to give yourself a pat on the back for getting out there and casting your all-important vote than with some free stuff, right?

As of now, 17 states have laws requiring voters to present photo ID before voting.

Tuesday, November 6 is 'Election Day.' Voting is one of the most important rights and responsibilities that we, as U.S. citizens have. About 90 million American citizens, who are qualified to vote, won't. They give up on a chance to choose leaders and representatives who will do things that are important to them. Respect your right to vote! It's a privilege.
