Votes For Tacos Is A No-No

According to their website, California Tortilla is offering a “FREE” taco today for anyone that wears an “I VOTED” sticker, says they voted, or screams “I love election day.”

That last option, screaming “I love election day,” is the only thing keeping California Taco from violating the law. 42 USC 1973i(c) reads:

Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
