"But these kinds of things are, you know, these are great wrapup moments to just really bring the community out and say, you know, let's make some noise and have some fun while we're reminding people that this is a really, really important event that's about to happen with the election all the way down from the president to all of our local elections."

"As we've been driving, you know, we've tossed out fliers. You know, a partner would jump out and hand fliers to people giving them information and everything. So tracking the impact is really going to be hard. But we know we had a lot of people coming out on porches. You know, we had bullhorns giving them the information about, you know, early voting and how to find their polling location and all of that."

Tracy Maxwell Heard from the Ohio Unity Coalition, who was one of the organizers of 'Caravan to the Polls', told Reuters, "These kinds of things are, you know, these are great wrap up moments to just really bring the community out and say, you know, let's make some noise and have some fun while we're reminding people that this is a really, really important event that's about to happen with the election all the way down from the president to all of our local elections. So it's been a great deal of fun, you know, just reaching out and connecting with our community partners and getting them to show up and and rally with us today."

"How many people we drive to the polls, we don't actually know. But that was the purpose of the day," Maxwell Heard said.
