What about actually getting people to polls?
Are there plans in on election day for volunteers to actually pick up and drive people to the polls?

I can imagine many people may be newly registered, but not have the means to go to the polls.

2. I'll second the suggestion. Check with your local party headquarters.
There ought to be folks that may need a lift. Go for it.

4. Many churches in my area
will be picking up any people that need transportation to the polls. And there are many other communities that are doing the same.
