Billionaire Warren Buffet Is Driving People to the Polls This Election Day

Election Day is finally here, and Wall Street tycoon Warren Buffett wants to make sure you vote -- so much so that he hired a trolley to drive Nebraska voters to their polling locations, reports the Associated Press.

Buffett says sick people or those with car trouble have a more difficult time, and he's aiming to pitch in to ensure all can vote.

The owner of Berkshire Hathaway (ticker: BRK.A, BRK.B) made it clear he would help out Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with voter turnout at a rally for the former secretary of state back in August. Though Buffett supports Clinton, Tuesday he said he was interested in motivating all to vote, no matter the party.

He has more than 1,000 volunteers who want to help.
