Related: About this forumHillary Clinton's campaign gives away tacos outside Ohio early voting centers
http://www.cleveland.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/11/clinton_campaign_gives_away_ta.htmlCOLUMBUS, Ohio -- Voters and passersby outside four Ohio early voting centers Saturday were treated to free tacos and burritos, courtesy of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Taco trucks parked outside busy early voting locations in Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo and Akron Saturday afternoon -- the third to last day of early voting ahead of Election Day.
Ohio law prohibits offering money or other items of value, which could include a steak quesadilla, for voters to cast ballots. But the taco truck fare was free to all, including pedestrians who happened to walk past the trucks.

And got accused of 'buying votes' with free pizza and rides to the EV center. Of course, there was (and is) no obligation to vote for the prefered candidate, or even to vote at all, but it can be seen as 'looking bad'.
Taco trucks are just funny in this election, tho!
