If you still haven't figured out how to get to your polling place before it closes Tuesday, Uber and Lyft want to make it easy on you. The ride-sharing apps, with the help from a California super PAC called My Ride to Vote, are offering free rides to voters in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida.
Feeling unloved in non-swing states? Fear not. Lyft is offering a 45 percent discount to riders in more than 20 cities around the country. If you want to rent your own car, Zipcar is making more than 7,000 vehicles free in all of its cities. So if voting isn't your thing, but getting a good deal on a ride is, tonight's your night.
