When I lived in St. Louis, I was offered the following as enticement to vote. It happened several times so I know that it was not a fluke.
1) Ride to the poll despite the fact that it was ONE block away.
2) Free lunch at the diner.
3) An invite to a party that night with FREE beer.
All in a one-party city where most of the alderman ran UNOPPOSED.
Fortunately the candidate who was offering all of this ended up in the Federal Pen a couple years later for corruption.
