If there's no gas, how will you get to the polls?

[Bill Bored]

There are big shortages in the Southeast now, just in time for early voting. But what if this continues until Nov?

2. Walk 0.3 Miles

How far apart are your polling places?

[Bill Bored]

11. Not far, but I'm in NYC and we have gas, public transit, etc. nt

3. Fortunately, I can walk to my polling place from my house.

4. how far away is your polling site?

I can walk to mine. I suspect most people's polling site is within biking distance, if not within walking distance. Certainly within a day's walk. As important as voting is, if lack of gas is limiting our ability to go vote, we've got bigger problems than being able to vote or not.

12. I hear there's no gas in Charlotte, NC. That's pretty big! nt

5. Ever see those 3rd world countries who get democracy

and the people walk for days and risk their lives for the privilege of casting their first vote? That kind of makes us look like a bunch of wusses.

6. Walk 2 miles.

7. Borrow a skateboard.

9. Whatever it takes.

8. I always walk to the polls

But it's also only a few blocks away... one of the benefits of living in town i guess.

10. maybe the local League of Women Voters or some other local organization

can help where there are gas shortages? just a thought
