The Dallas-based organization Rideshare2Vote is helping to transport voters to the polls.
Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, expects turnout to be “pretty modest” this election, in the 6%–7% range. “Early voting seems to support that,” he said. “It’s been a trickle rather than a flood.”
Jillson views the idea of a ride-share voting service as a good one but hopes that drivers are careful; recent Texas election bills have put restraints on the kinds of help that people can give voters, he said. But enacting voting limitations may actually work to further mobilize folks, Jillson said, adding that “we've seen unusually high turnout in the last several Texas election cycles” in terms of state historic levels.
“Once you ride with us, we will always call you back for future elections and invite you to take a ride again every time there's an election in your area,” she continued. “Our goal is to turn what we're calling low-turnout voters into every-election voters in North Texas.”, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we'd like to keep it that way.
