All aboard the party bus to the polls. Turning Point Action, the conservative political group founded by Charlie Kirk, rented buses to take voters standing in long lines in Maricopa County, Ariz., to polls with a shorter wait.
Dubbed the “Trump Train,” the fleet included the Wild West Party Bus and a pink bus featuring poles and a neon sign that reads “What happens in Scottsdale, stays in Scottsdale.”

Turning Point Action, which is focused on mobilizing young conservative voters, has become an organizing force for the Trump campaign in Arizona.
“We are going to make November too big to rig and we are going to overwhelm the ballot boxes,” said Kirk at an event put on by the group in June at a Phoenix megachurch.
