It would probably be cheaper to pass out liquor to the homeless. They would a) go to sleep earlier b) be all obnoxiously drunk at the polling places which will tend to be heavily 'Rat and thus depress turnout and lower 'Rat throughput...

Of course, the good guys don't do this type of stuff ;)...

No question they have other ways of shipping people to the polls. But putting them into effect eats hours from their day. And the vans we would rent will be intended to carry our own people, so it's not outright obstruction. Outright obstruction is probably over the line. This is no different than buying up prime time TV for ads. They can advertise some other time. And they can cart people to the polls some other way.

Individual cars carry fewer people. They have to make more trips. The number deficit will add up.

We will get our own people to the polls. There is no reason why they should get their own people there more conveniently with big vehicles. No reason why we shouldn't have those vehicles by paying more for them (renting for the day prior). That's free enterprise and economy of scale. Perfectly legit.

Nothing we can do about black church vans. That's the way it is. Obstruction would be over the ethical line.
