If you are in a line for hours at a time to vote...
are you allowed to have a urinal, a Mason Jar, or pee in the bushes.
I've already voted by absentee ballot, but just wondered what these poor folks are doing when in line for 5 or 6 hours!!!

"Anchor a foley!!!" "Take an adult diaper!!!" "Got a leg bag???"

1. For those who have already voted
A good unofficial way to volunteer is to show up at polling places and offer to wait in line for people while they take care of "business" like that.

Bring chairs for elderly people to sit in while they wait.
