If the Socialist's idea came true I bet it would result in lower turnout. Why? Because a lot of people would take Monday off creating a four day weekend and leaving town.

Increase efforts towards a two-week period of early voting is a better idea. That is how we have voted for years.

You can absentee vote, early vote weeks before the election, and vote on election day.

How about a bill moving Election Day to April 15th?

If it were up to me I would have a two week window where voting would open unannounced for two hours only.
LOL that way you know that the people who vote really wanted to vote.

You mean a four day weekend and
staying drunk
or
sobering up
Either way ... work is not the reason people don't vote
apathy / ignorance is the problem

One can’t have their cake and eat it too. The people that don’t have jobs and are not paying the majority of taxes are already able to have the free time to vote. Its the hard working people that make time in their busy schedules to make sure they vote. Sanders must not be looking very hard at which his constituency is primarily made.

So Obama’s Silent Majority can get Holiday pay for sitting out the election.

Voting day as a holiday is probably about the best idea I’ve seen in a while if it was on a Tuesday or better yet a Wednesday. If you don’t vote, employers should dock a day of vacation.

Thugs want to force citizens to vote.
Mini-thugs want to apply pressure to make citizens vote.
These narcissists need to check their egos. It’s a free country - people don’t have to vote if they don’t want to...

Yet another”Federal Worker’s PayDay”??They combinrd Washington/Lincoln to accomodate MLK.Why don’t we just do away with”President’s Day”and call it”Free-Loaders Day”????
To: C19fan
OK, let’s go one further and give out free unlimited crack, malt-liquor, etc. starting the Monday night before the election and running through midnight of election day. Because hey, I don’t want people not voting due to DTs.

Perhaps this should be pushed and early voting nixed.

I could go for this if they also moved tax day to the end of the fiscal year September 30th.
