2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLets brainstorm how to keep people in line to vote.
Where people are waiting in hours-long lines to vote, how about if we bring a little comfort and sustenance to those forced to stand such a ridiculously long time.
Like bringing them
folding chairs
cushions
snacks
drinks
blankets if it's cold
umbrellas for sun or rain
Ask if anyone needs a favor -- a quick phone call or something on their behalf -- you can do for them, or offer to hold their place so they can go pee!
Is any group doing this already?
I live in a blue state, but sometimes I wish I lived in a swing state so I could really help more, like this.

(3,170 posts)I cannot do it as well, I am in Oregon. I would love to see 1000s of people in a line when they wanted to close the doors. Then after they ignored the people and shut them out It would really be funny if everyone then starting chanting ROMNEY ROMNEY ROMNEY.
