Rides During Primary A Big HitPOSTED: 1:15 p.m. EST November 4, 2002
DURHAM, N.C. -- Voters in Durham, N.C., are losing an excuse not to vote. They're being offered free limo rides.
Funeral homes in Durham are volunteering their limousines to drive voters to the polling stations Tuesday. It's a project of the Durham Voter Coalition and cooperating funeral homes.
An experimental limo program was tried during the September primary and the coalition's Melvin Whitley said it was a big hit. He added that it's the talk of the town.
