Early voting has officially closed, and in a tally of returned mail-in ballots and early voters, Democrats hold a 24,755-vote advantage over Republicans (2,073,936 to 2,049,181 according to the latest report from myflorida.com).
No matter which party you claim, getting to the polls for Election Day on November 6 has never been easier.
In Pinellas, PSTA buses will provide free round trips to and from polling places from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. In Hillsborough, HART buses are doing the same as part of a "Roll to the Polls" initiative. All riders have to do to ride is show their valid voter ID.
Bus riders are encouraged to prepare for their trip by identifying their polling location, and the specific routes necessary for travel before starting their trip.
Rideshare companies are also getting into the spirit with Lyft offering free and discounted rides depending on which neighborhood you live in. Across the country, Lyft is giving away 50-percent off promo codes, and underserved communities will get free rides through Lyft's nonpartisan, nonprofit partners.
Uber is on on the action, too, and has promised to give free rides to any user headed to the polls.
