I was driving a get out the vote van that day picking up Madina voters and driving them to the polls.


Curious. Was there a lot of voters needing rides to the polls? It would seem to me with the 10 day or so of early voting that most voters needing transportation could get to a polling location at some point during that time. Just curious of your experience.

The phone bank would call and ask if people supported Medina. If they did the phone person asked if they voted yet. If they said no the phone person offered them a ride.

We also had people at the senior center and at the library. I’d get a call on my cell to pick someone up. I drove about 30 people that day. The largest group was a group of 6 ladies my sister ran into at the range where she shoots.

They were a hoot. All of them were in their early 30s and most said they forgot it was election day until my sister got talking to them. One of them said her husband had been after her to vote since early voting started and he would be pleased she finally did.

I didn’t get any calls to go to anyone’s house.
