Don't feel like standing in line on Election Day? In Denver, you can get a limo ride to the polls if you take advantage of early voting Saturday.
Fearing that new voting machines, new voting centers and a ballot full of measures could create gridlock Nov. 7, a coalition of advocacy groups is offering door-to-door service to the city's six new voting centers.
"We're expecting a lot of confusion, voter fatigue and, because of the long ballot, we're expecting long lines on Election Day," Lindsey Hodel, a spokeswoman for the limo effort, said Friday.
Her coalition includes groups aiming to increase turnout among Hispanic women and black voters. The coalition is nonpartisan, though some of its members have endorsed some proposals on the ballot.
The group has reserved two limos to handle pickup requests. To get as many people to the polls as possible, the limos will be making multiple stops to fit up to eight people on each ride, Hodel said.
