Warren Buffett invests in democracy, takes Omaha voters to polls
Fulfilling a promise to raise turnout in his district in Nebraska, billionaire investor Warren Buffett rented an old-fashioned trolley in Omaha to drive voters to the polls.
Buffett β who supports Hillary Clinton β rode on the trolley with voters as part of an initiative offering people rides on Election Day.
"I'm really hoping we get this big turnout, just generally β forget about which side they vote for β but I would like the Second District of Nebraska to be on the pages tomorrow as saying that the biggest increase in turnout of any congressional district in the country," Buffett said.
βWe just want everybody to at least have the chance to vote,β he said.
He also posed for selfies on the trolley, and waited in line with others to vote.
