An anti-Joe Arpaio group wants to make sure you get to the polls to vote by giving you a free taxi ride.

That's going on now through election day.

The group — “Bazta Arpaio” — says they are offering the service to anyone in Maricopa County to make sure their voice is heard.

“This is definitely a way for us to tell people there's no excuse (not to vote), there's no reason — if something comes up, your car breaks down, whatever is the case, there's a solution,” said Korina Iribe, an organizer with the group Bazta Arpaio.

They’ve partnered with a group of 400 taxi drivers from different companies calling themselves “Team 16.”

To use the service, you should call (602) 518-8000, and mention the “Bazta Arpaio” campaign to get a free ride to the polls.
