Democrats in Rochester offer free beer for registering to vote

Posted on 06/18/2004 11:40:11 AM PDT by conservamerica

Greetings all:

I found it interesting that the democrats in Rochester are encouraging drinking over civic responsibility. If you sign up to vote you get free beers. I will not buy beer from High Falls Brewery I understand that their bottom line is not good but that is just ridiculous. If someone registers does that mean they will vote? They must have it within themselves to want to vote a beer will not instill civic responsibilities. Positive good debate will.

It's illegal to pay someone to vote, but is it really illegal to pay someone to register?

In Wisconsin it is $1.00, but I don't know that it includes registering (which can be done on election day, at the polls here, with no picture ID), or the actual voting.
