2. Great company

I know here in Los Angeles Lyft is offering free rides to the polls to anyone who wants one. Remember, Uber's president was a big mouth Trump supporter in 2016. Lyft is the antidote.

3. Awesome. Maybe a deal can be

worked out to take the African American senior center population in Jefferson County Georgia to the polls.

4. Great but

aren't these labor-on-demand platforms run by asshole libertarians who back the dumpster and pukes?

Anyhoo, anything that facilitates voting in this election is a good thing.
