To walk the mile(s) long lines to assist; with water, sun lotions, umbrellas, food, phone chargers, hats, medical assistance, first aid.... whatevers necessary. We should start thinking about this early. The movement to vote in person will, and should, become a massive one.

(60,340 posts)I have had other commitments earlier this year that took most of the PTO time I have and I was out of work for a while due to surgery.
I did what I could in February to help Biden win the South Carolina primary.
