I'm 99% sure the cups in the past had candidates names on them ...

For 20 years, 7-Eleven has served up a tasty prediction of the Presidential election and on September 6 the chain will once again roll out the 7-Eleven Presidential Coffee Cup Poll.
Although it may be an unorthodox way to predict November’s big winner, the convenience store chain says that the votes cast by coffee drinkers are eerily similar to those tallied at the polls.
When grabbing a morning cup of joe, Democrats choose a blue cup while those leaning Republican pick up a red cup.
Given the tumultuous nature of this year’s election, 7-Eleven decided to include a ballot option for those who just can’t make up their mind.
The so-called ‘Speak Up’ cup aims to give people the chance to write in the candidate of their choice.
Votes are tabulated automatically when a cup is sold and results can be tracked instantly at 7election.com. Voting closes on Election Day, November 8.

This way is cheaper for the company——like a Forever stamp

They used to tell the future by reading somebody’s entrails. If we go by Congress’s, we don’t have one.
Or I’m wrong. I guess they would’ve been reversed only for the very first time they did this.
So... When the gibsmedats are hanging out at the 7/11, your going to grab a Republican cup?
What about Mobile orders?
Sorry I was thinking Starbucks.
A lost art, to be sure.
Do you really think that’s why they are doing it like this? Really?
They will sell more “democrat” cups than they would “Hillary” cups.
The media had to get the reversal so that their party would no longer be associated with the "reds," as the commies had been referred to until then.
Only the color blind coffee drinkers.
Exactly!! It’s beyond obvious.
7-11 coffee drinkers = reason not to trust their judgment.

It worked before because they counted the cups. Now they're rigging it with a "ballot option" they can count privately.
Garbage.
I would take a blue cup. I like to mess with people.
I’m pretty sure hitlary has a cup.
“Do you really think that’s why they are doing it like this? Really?”
Probably not,but I’m trying to be less suspicious.:-)
