Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has announced that on November 6, 2018, the company will partner with #VoteTogether and Democracy Works to provide free rides to the polls. The offer of free rides is being made because lack of transportation is one reason people cite for not voting. As Khosrowshahi explained:
With the 2018 elections around the corner, many organizations and companies across the country are going the extra mile to support our democratic process. At Uber, we want to do our part, too–by helping voters register and get to the polls on Election Day.
Using our technology and resources, we can help make it easier for every Uber rider in the U.S. to get to their polling place at the push of a button. We’re also partnering with nonprofit organizations to register voters before state deadlines and provide free rides to the polls on November 6.
Uber will also be inserting a “Get to the Polls” button inside its app on Election Day that will allow anyone to quickly find their polling place and book a ride to it as well as partnering with When We All Vote to provide users with easy-to-use voter registration tools.
Uber follows Lyft, who in August also offered 50% discounts and free rides to the polls on Election Day to those in underserved communities that face significant obstacles to transportation. As Lyft pointed out in a blog post, an estimated 15 million people were registered but didn’t vote in 2016 because of transportation issues.
LYFT and Uber
"Democracy Works"
funded by the "Democracy Fund" which is Soros:

Valerie Jarrett is on the Board for Lyft and they just took Obama administration's top transportation official 2 weeks ago:

Well then, we should ALL take UBER/LYFT to the polls on election day.
Meet the driver in your MAGA hat and see if he is still willing to take you.
Will they give me a ride to Key West to vote? I live in NYC.
What, they aren’t gonna run the illegal alien buses in LA this year?
Usually they get to vote at least 3 times without benefit of “documents”, much less a car!
Good, call them up and use it. Every Republican that uses it, is one less Democrat using it.......

Taking you for a Free Ride ,ya right ,LOL
If they gleam you are a pub do they drop you off in a bad neighborhood?
But only in dim districts.
Most polling places are within walking distance of your home. I get the feeling this is intended to give people transportation to places other than their assigned polling place so they can cast votes for the dead.
I’m perceiving this as an attempted end-run around observers noting the typical buses and calling vote fraud. They fear getting noted, tracked and charged under the Trump administration. Individual cars are far more difficult to keep up with than busloads going from precinct to precinct.
Uber could do something REALLY worthwhile: pay its drivers.
[ Any conservative living in a location that is served by Uber or Lyft should call them for a free ride to the polls. Document the phone call, and we can institute a class action suit after the election if they don’t pick up conservatives. ]
Wear a MAGA hat when you are waiting to be picked up, film them driving by not picking you up.
ELECTION MEDDLING!
Sounds like these foreign Uber and Lyft bastards are planning on colluding with the ‘RATS in our upcoming election.
My district is vote by mail only. I think I’ll call them and see if they’ll give me the 45 mile ride.
Good to know.
My polling place is 29.4 miles from home. A 40 mile one way trip.
Think I’ll give Lyft a call. And my wife can use Uber.
(Yes I really do live out in the boonies)
I wonder which group of fags came up with this crock.
