I've seen the concept raised in several places given coronavirus concerns,
but I wondered if any jurisdictions (I assume implemented at the county
level without a whole lot of specific statewide legal guidance?) have a
robust "drive thru" or "drive up" or "curbside" voting model? (These terms
also vary across jurisdictions.) Specifically, I mean the models where
someone *votes *from the car, not where someone can *drop off *an
absentee/vote by mail ballot into a receptacle or with a poll worker.
(California counties, for instance, have the option for voters with
accessibility challenges to engage in "curbside voting

".)
I just wondered if anyone is already doing this at scale, and thinking
about how to handle the hygienic issues (which seem better than polling
places writ large, but still remain a problem) ahead of November.
Best,
Derek
