Seems the site is back up. The current site is not run by the original Carpool Vote team (even though it has the same branding). It's great if people are getting to the polls but we cannot be sure it is being done safely. Please get in touch if you know who has reactivated it.
CARPOOL VOTE NOT RUNNING IN 2020
Thank you very much for all the continued interest in Carpool Vote. 2020 has brought many challenges, which means that Carpool Vote will unfortunately not be running for the November elections.
Analysis of election results has found that 49.2% of eligible voters cast a ballot in the 2018 midterm. That's the highest turnout rate since 1914, when Woodrow Wilson was president, Babe Ruth was a rookie, and the Panama Canal opened for business. #Midterms2018
Thank you Tory Constantine from Atlanta who drove people to the polls today - waiting two hours before work started, to get a rider back home. 🧡 #ElectionDaynpr.org/2018/11/06/664794843…
Major shout out to Tech Lead @jsnightowl and GOTV Volunteer Organizer Extraordinaire, Andrea Miller of @PDAction and @NAACP in Virginia whose dedication to democracy for all continues to inspire!
Thank you 😊@CarpoolVote is created by the hard work of a large and diverse group of people for over two years now, plus support from groups like @prog_code, @naacp and @pdaction. Taking away someone's vote is an attack on every citizen and it's good to help challenge that
HAPPENING NOW @MoveOn.org's #Election watch party! CTO @ann_lewis sings praises of Spoke's open source tech team and gives a shout out the @prog_code open source volunteer community (26:30) facebook.com/moveon/videos/2…

URGENT: A virtual phone bank has been set up to call #Florida residents who may have been forced to fill out a provisional ballot because their ID was rejected. The ask is to have them take their ID to county supervisors by 5:00 PM ET today.

Voters were reportedly turned away at a polling site in Detroit early on Election Day due to missing voting machines.
The polling site was temporarily closed off to voters because election workers were unable to locate the voting machines. thehill.com/homenews/campaig…
My mom just called after waiting in line an hour in PA, her polling place says they're almost out of ballots. They planned on 800 voters. They're almost at 700 at noon, not enough ballots to last until 8:00 pm!
Voter roll purges, shortened voting hours, picture ID requirements, shuttered polling places & laws disenfranchising people with felony convictions shut millions out of the democratic process. We fight to protect everyone's right to vote. #MyVoteMyVoicebit.ly/2JFmPW3
That's illegal.
The precinct is required to allow voters assigned to their precinct to vote.
Provisional ballots, worst case.
Sending them to "find another precinct" violates election rules.
Tell them to call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
