These states have more tedious voting laws and are expected to have unreasonably long lines in high-traffic voting locations. Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, described bringing food and drinks to eligible voters as"the humane thing to do" and a"natural extension" of encouraging voter participation.
"Food trucks won't solve the problem of long lines, but Vote.org hopes it will make the process of voting safer and more comfortable for thousands of voters across the country," Hailey told . The effort is also a small step toward fighting food insecurity in underdeveloped voting communities.While it isn't yet known what kinds of foods will be given out on Election Day, this isn't the first time Vote.org brought food trucks to polling locations.
