People who don’t want to vote, can’t do what’s already easy enough to vote and/or are not informed should not be voting.
Schedule it over a weekend.
And who would you like as dictator?
1. Who pays? How much? You seriously going to pay 100,000,000 people $50-1000 dollars for a few minutes’ effort?
2. You seriously going to deny me the option of voting before work just because Alaska is in a significantly different longitude?
3. Death threat for reporting polling results? Seriously?
Although I might have missed the following in your list, let's also include moving tax day, April 15, to the day before election day.
And lets have Congress put the following excerpt at the top of the first page of every return.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, patriots need to work with Trump and the states to amend the Gibbons excerpt to the Constitution.
I like some of the ideas a lot. Other i disagree with.
But at least you’re interested and concerned enough to build a core vision.
Kudos.
To stop this from happening, vote Trump!
“1. Election day made a PAID national holiday. Everyone gets the day off. “
1) And whose going to pay for it?
2) What holiday do you know of where everyone isnt working?
3) If you care enough, you will make some time to vote.
MOVE Election Day.
To April 16th. . .
Anyone who wants to can vote already. Given the general level of ignorance among a majority of voters, I think too many people vote. Why should people who pay no attention to what’s going on beyond Kanye and Kim be encouraged to vote? If anything we should make it harder.
Good Idea! Pay people to Vote!
All you “Anti s” are having a field day.
The main REASON behind my idea is to help prevent voter fraud, especially by the media.
Weekend voting is not likely to work, people have other plans.
The day before tax day, maybe, but last minute tax filers will take advantage of the day off to don their taxes.
I don’t get why the idea of making up for lost wages so that we can have fair elections and greater turnout is so offensive. By the way, in case you didn’t get it, the reason for making up for lost wages, is that it would have public support in order to get enacted into law.
I don’t care how we pay for it. That’s one of the small details.
The treasury can pay for it. Means test it. ONLY FOR REGISTERED VOTERS. Self employed get a CHECK like all other REGISTERED voters, maybe with a provision that to get paid next year you have to have actually voted. ....DETAILS.
Not necessary IMHO.
It’s very easy for people to vote today and those that want to vote will vote.
.
No, not this.
But perhaps no jury duty on election day?
