Points made in artice:

*Provide free rides or 50% off rides to the polls to those in underserved communities
*Partnering with nonprofit organizations "When We All Vote" and "Democracy Works"

Sounds like collusion to meddle in an election to me.

I’m tempted to take one of their free rides just to keep a leftist from using it during that hour.

Do you have to declare how you are going to vote (or at least your party affiliation) to get a ride?

This opens some interesting questions. If it’s party preferential, then it’s an in-kind contribution to the effort, and should fall under FEC rules.

Let us hope that there are millions of #Walkaway Democrats who need a ride.

Easy solution - Republicans, just demand an uber/lyft ride to the polls.

Make Soros pay and keep drivers busy.

Targeting voters in WA state would be a worthless gesture. We are now a 100% mail in ballot state. There are no poll stations here anymore.

Someone try to get them to pick you up in a MAGA hat. Sue at the nuclear level if they won’t.

Imagine 957,000 extra voters in Florida through uber and lyft.

Sorry, I can't imagine that because the logistics are impossible.

Granted, uber and lyft may be able to increase the turn out for the RATS. But the impact will not even be close to that stated.

If you’re incapable of getting yourself to a poll, you’re probably incapable of calling Uber or Lyft. It’s like the voter ID requirement being too much of burden. The downside of having a voting base that is barely functional.

I just tossed an E-Mail yesterday from vote.org about this. They only offered Me 50% discount.

So only leftists can use these rides? Don’t they have mail-in ballots in those states? Most people in AZ use mail-in ballots. No need to drive anywhere. No postage stamps needed.
