State Board of Elections spokesman John Conklin confirmed Friday that the law permits election commissioners to create a second day of voting if the turnout in any county is less than 25 percent of the total number of registered voters...

What constitution? The states decide such issues. I believe they can go up real close to when the electoral college meets.

Leftwing propaganda!

The US Constitution gives the federal government the final word on the day of federal elections and since the 1840s federal law has required that they be held on the 1st Tuesday after the 1st Monday of November. Not on 2 or 20 days starting on that Tuesday.
