It's a cold rainy Tuesday in east Tennessee.Ray and I will go out to vote sometime today.I use to love election day when I was a kid.Anyone remember the perks,,card board fingernail files,slogan buttons which sometimes had a picture of the candidate and not to mention folding match books? I couldn't vote then but I sure enjoyed the small usable things that were handed out.
If anyone has been out riding and would like to share a picture on this page,email it to me and I will put it on.

Brenda, I remember my brother-in-law and his friends bragging about getting two dollars and pint of moonshine in Evarts for their votes. I never did find out if they actual voted for the crooks or not but things have not changed that much since then just different incentives today.

An old man told me years ago that he would accept the whiskey ahead of time and then go vote for the candidate that he wanted.Well, he only got half a pint!I never thought of the little fingernail files etc to be bribes, just incentives to consider that candidate,, but I guess it can come in many forms.
