We got good turnout, too, in an otherwise low-turnout election. It helps 
that two of our members are poll workers at our local precinct, 2 blocks' 
walk from our community... as each of us came to vote, we checked on who 
hadn't yet, and came back to urge them on.

I also offered neighbors a ride to the polls in the ultimate Coho 
vehicle, perfect for errands or excursions, the Quadribent (aka "social 
tandem" or "talking tandem"), a side-by-side recumbent bicycle, or rather 
2 bicycles:
