Great suggestions on involving the kids! The meal suggestions are SO cute! I am Canadian but our families are doing an “all-American” meal together with hot dogs, french fries and apple pie!

Election officials for the state of Washington told KIRO 7 that rewarding voters with free coffee is illegal.
Handy said there is a federal statute that prohibits any reward for voting.
Starbucks’ good deed can be perceived as paying someone to vote, and that’s illegal, Handy said.
To fix the situation, Starbucks had agreed to give a tall cup of coffee to anyone who asks on Election Day.
A statement from Tara Darrow of Starbucks says, “We’ve been excited by the number of positive responses received about our free coffee offer. To ensure we are in compliance with election law, we are extending our offer to all customers who request a tall brewed coffee. We’re pleased to honor our commitment to communities on this important Election Day. We hope there is a record turnout on Tuesday and look forward to celebrating with our customers over a great cup of coffee.”
