“Finally, I’d make the federal election day a federal holiday so no one would miss work to vote.”

You do realize that plenty of people have to work on federal holidays.

Yes, but I’m suggesting that not be the case. Police, firemen, etc could be allowed a short time off to go vote with polling places letting first responders move to the head of any voting lines.

Somehow, for over 200 years, the US had one election day, and people had to show up in person to cast a vote. And we did just fine. Don't you agree?
