The question of buying votes isn't so much with what Starbucks is doing. The law is there to stop places that may have an agenda from buying votes. an example would be if there was a Proposal on the ballot that had to do with serving alcohol and bars were offering free drink as a way to get more people who drink out or like the place Aqua posted above if there is some proposal on the ballot that has to do with adult stores.
