Agree with everything you say except keeping Election Day on a Tuesday. The day of the week doesn’t matter to lazy welfare bums, but having Election Day on a Tuesday makes it harder for us working people to get to the polls. We need to stop punishing labor and rewarding idleness.
Federal law requires all employers to give time off to go vote.
I have worked for the past 65 years.
The polling places are open at least by 7 Am, and being in line to vote THEN might make you a bit late to work-—BUT YOUR EMPLOYER CANNOT DOCK YOUR PAYCHECK.
1) All polling stations must be open from 7AM to 10PM (local time)
2) All people who are in line at a polling station at 9:59:59 PM must be allowed to vote regardless of how late voting continues.
3) All employers,regardless of size or type,must allow all employees 2 (paid) hours off on Election Day.
