And make it a mandatory holiday so no one can claim that they were “disenfranchised” due to work.
I like your idea of a National Holiday. Since the "gimmedats" are off all day to vote for more stuff, it seems unfair for the employed to have to work all day and then go to the polls. It might increase the conservative votes from the hard workers who are too tired or too involved dealing with their families, etc. What would be the negative "unintended circumstances"?
