This website will send you free pizza while you're waiting in line to vote
Stuck on a long line waiting to vote? Hungry? Well, you and your fellow voters just might be eligible for a free pizza brought straight to you while you wait.
The nonprofit Pizza to the Polls will send free pizza to people stuck on long lines waiting to cast their votes this Election Day. Seriously.
All you need to do is head to Pizza to the Polls' website to flag a long line at any polling station in the U.S. via a form located right on the homepage. Just provide them with the address, a link to a photo of the long line you're stuck in, and your phone number. Easy!

Once Pizza to the Polls verifies that your polling place is extra crowded, they'll send over some pies from a local pizza place for you and everyone else stuck in line.
On Tuesday, at the time of writing, 1,488 pizzas had gone out 110 different polling places across the country, according to Pizza to the Polls' website.
But if you and the voters in line with you aren't exactly feeling pizza, you might get some doughnuts instead.

The incentive for all of this? To ensure that as many people vote as possible.
"Americans are hungry for democracy and are turning out in record numbers to vote," states Pizza to the Polls' website. "But that means long lines and sometimes empty stomachs, which might discourage these brave patriots from performing their civic duty."
The nonprofit was created back in 2016 by web developers Scott Duncombe and Noah Manger from Oregon who were trying to figure out a way to spend the remains of their anti-Donald Trump superPAC — Americans Against Insecure Billionaires with Tiny Hands PAC — according to a 2016 HuffPost report. Pizza to the Polls, however is a non-partisan effort, intended only to encourage and bring joy to voters.
Pizza to the Polls is able to send voters free pizza thanks to the many donations it's received from people all across the country. About $69,165 had been raised at the time this article was written. That's a lot of pizzas.
If you had a breezy voting experience this morning, and you've got a couple extra bucks to spare, a $20 donation covered the price of a single pie.
Pizza or no pizza, we hope you're all exercising your right to vote today.
