Benefits of Sharing Your Vote Photo: Celeb Shout Outs & Freebies

Nov 6, 2012, 2012, 2:24pm

Bay Area voters are getting a little more than the opportunity to choose the next president today. Tweeters and Instagrammers are connecting with celebs through vote hashtags and shout outs. If that wasn't cool enough, Bay Area businesses are granting voters some freebies when sharing vote photos on the web.

Update! Inspired by all the girls giving me shade I've added sunglasses and a patriotic peacoat #dress2vote #obama2012

This San Franciscan's Instagram was shared straight from Everett Middle School at 16th and Church Streets.

Today was my first time voting in person. Obviously it was a TOTAL BLAST. Today also marks the day I launch my campaign to take back the color red from the Republican Party. #gobama #dress2vote cc @lenadunham
