Lyft is offering free and discounted rides to voters this year so everyone has a chance to get to the polls. 

"SNIP.....

This election season Lyft wants to make sure everyone has a chance to get to the polls.

As part of its LyftUp initiative, this year the ride share service is providing voters with free and discounted rides to the polls throughout the entire primary calendar and the general election. This is an expansion of Lyft's previous 2018 program.

"Every citizen who wants to exercise their fundamental right to vote should have reliable, affordable access to the polls -- regardless of income, age, ZIP code, or political affiliation," Lyft said in a statement. "Yet in the last presidential election, it's estimated that more than 15 million eligible voters didn't go to the polls in large part because they lacked a way to get there."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
