Then I thought of my commute. I wouldnt have time to get ready for work if I went before work, and I probably wouldnt make it after work either. Unless I want to sleep at work. A national holiday for election day isnt a bad idea. I was going to say that 12 hours is long enough since people only work 8. Then I thought of my commute.

Election Day should be a national holiday. If need be, it should be the ONLY national holiday. Then, maybe we could talk about abolishing absentee voting. Joe: Indi is right, though.

The reason for abolishing absentee voting is because it is prone to fraud - as the skewed results in this race suggest. Indie, that is precisely the point.

I strongly suspect though that there are machinations in abesentee voting...especially with the Republicans.

If not you should HAVE to go to the polls to vote, there is NO reason to have permanent absentee voters. rj, are you disabled, or in the military?

Until they make the first Tuesday in November a national holiday, I intend to continue. You’ve said before, but every time I have voted it has been by absentee (I’m in my 20s).
