TAMPA, FL (AP) -- Vote and get in a Tampa strip club for free. Joe Redner says he was disgusted by the small voter turnout during the March sixth city election, when less than 16 percent of registered voters went to the polls. But Redner is looking to change that.
He's offering free admission to his Mons Venus strip club when you hand over your "I voted" sticker at the door. The cover charge is usually 20 bucks. He's in the runoff for the city-wide District One seat against Tampa City Council Chairwoman Gwen Miller.
State elections officials say what Redner is doing is legal, since "there's nothing in Florida statutes that prevents a business owner from offering a discount to voters for voting."
Redner says the offer is good during early voting as well as on election day -- March 27th -- and perhaps for a few days afterward.
