19. Yep, rides to the DMV is the kind of activity I'm thinking about
Used to be "do you need a ride to the polls?" on election day. Now it's "do you need a ride to the DMV to get a voter ID?" several weeks prior.

I'd like to see the local Democratic party hqs get involved in this, since they have the organization in place to meet the needs of specific areas, and plenty of incentive to respond to the GOP threat.
