1. It should be. People can vote...and

I won't have to worry about concentration! I should have taken the day off.

[valerief]

2. Agreed! nt

3. Or, like in WA and other states...

you should be able to complete your paper ballot and mail it or drop it off. It gives me time to study up on all the candidates and judges, and double check for errors. After living in a state with minimal early voting and electronic voting machines (and long lines), I wish every state would switch to paper ballots.

6. Yes!

As another who lives in a state wit electronic voting machines, NO early voting, and having to jump through numerous hoops to vote absentee, I couldn't agree more. It gives people plenty of time, and there's a paper trail. If people want to got to a polling place, they should have them open for a week.

4. I agree!

I still don't understand why it isn't.

5. Unpaid n/t

7. You're all wrong.

A national election should be open for 30 days.

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. ! I would love to have 30 days off for the election month holiday.

11. In a just world, that's how it would be. Time to cogitate and decide.

8. Republicans will NEVER in a MILLION Years go for it ............ Why you ask?

Because they will never win with a massive Democratic voter turnout !!

9. Make it mandatory

National holiday, yes. Early voting OK. If you don't want to vote, you can go in and submit an empty ballot without penalty.

Very few people would exercise their freedom of non-voting in this case.
