That’s because it’s against federal law to offer any “incentive” to vote.
“We’re offering an incentive for people to wear the sticker,” said Dallas restaurateur Shannon Wynne, chief executive over the restaurants including four Tarrant County locations in Fort Worth and Arlington.
“i want to get people motivated to vote,” Wynne said.
The restaurants will offer 10 percent off only on voting days.
Voting started Monday at any of 49 locations across Tarrant County and continues until 5 p.m. nightly this week, until 7 p.m. Saturday, until 4 p.m. Sunday and until 7 p.m. nightly next week through Nov. 2.
“I’m tired of the typical man-on-the-street having no idea who’s running against who. They’re not engaged. … I’d do anything to get them engaged and out to the polls,” Wynne said.
