“the distribution of goods on election day is illegal”

Is that really the law in Wisconsin? In the states I am familiar with the giveaway has to be linked with electioneering for a particular candidate or party in proximity to the polls, or the specific agreement to exchange the thing for a vote.

It will be funny to watch if this multimillion dollar smear machine gets rocked over some clammy cold cuts and french bread.

In California, we used to get a free cup of coffee at Sambo's, or any of several other restaurants, if we showed the waitress our ballot stub, indicating that we had voted.

Around the mid to late 70s, even that was outlawed completely.

Since we moved out of the state in 1984, can't say if it's still that way or not...but it is here in SD.
