Newsflash to the 9 to 5’ers, but not everyone has a weekend off.
Or have people failed to notice all of those human-looking creatures at the stores and restaurants you visit on a Saturday?
The first few times I voted, all voting was on one day only and all schools served as polling places. I never knew anyone who didn’t vote once they turned 18. Of course back then all the stores in our area closed at 5 p.m. on Saturday. Restaurants did not open until Noon on Sunday because most people went to church on Sunday morning and retail stores and entertainment venues were closed on Sunday.
The real issue, IMO, is how to devise a system which would work in today’s electronic world and honestly reflect the wishes of the voters. We also need to have an educational system beginning in kindergarten that teaches American history honestly and stresses the importance of voting. Everyone has to feel like their vote means something.
