It's sad that you say it that way.

Election day is designated in the Constitution.
Tax day is not.

It's sad that tax day has become so ingrained in our culture that someone would suggest moving election day around it instead of the other way around.

I said it that way because almost everyone realizes that April 16th is the day after the tax deadline. I should have said "Eliminate payroll with holding and move tax day to the day before general elections."

I fully realize that election day is mandated by the Constitution. As far as that goes, why is it on a Tuesday? Productive people have to work on Tuesdays.
