Members of Donald Trump's inner circle are signaling the new administration could implement a massive election overhaul that would cement protections Republicans have been demanding since 2020.
The biggest change – making Election Day a national holiday where employers are mandated to give their workers paid time off to cast their ballot.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a former 2024 Republican candidate now on the short list for an administration position, said making federal elections on a single day would help restore voter confidence in U.S. elections.
He also claimed that paper ballots over machines and requirements of government issued ID to match the voter file would be a good place to start to overhaul the system.
Meanwhile, podcaster Joe Rogan, who now almost certainly has a direct line to president-elect Trump, also agrees with making it a holiday.

Overdue. No pay. Civic duty.
The longer the count, the greater the fraud.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Heard some of Vivek’s comments on Tucker.
I think a majority of Americans agree we need election reform of the kind Vivek envisions.
I’m against adding ANOTHER federal holiday though. But if it meant we get ID requirements, paper ballots, and ONE DAY OF VOTING, I could get past my distaste for another holiday.
Agreed, it’s not government’s job to mandate what a private company should pay their help.
Civic duty is the correct term for election day.
By the way, almost every European country does it this way.
Cancel some other useless federal holiday. Make Election Day a national holiday and that’s it. You show up, you show government issued photo ID and you vote on pieces of paper.
Make sure multiple parties have a meaningful right to observe and challenge each ballot that is counted.
Challenged ballots to be determined by a committee composed of members of multiple political parties.
If ID is required the signature verification cheat wouldn’t slow the count.all counting done in hours.
NO MORE MAIL IN BALLOTS-—ANYWHERE
You show up in person or you don’t vote. No absentee ballots, No last minute registration. You register before election, 30 days prior or you forfeit your vote. Voter ID for everyone. no ID, no Vote. Every European country runs it this way.
Yup
Paper ballots. Proof of US citizenship. Photo ID. One-day voting.
Anything else is a recipe for fraud.
I’m all for a national federal voting day...but for a trade we get rid of two others like Juneteenth and Labor Day for the unions.
Replace the silly pandering “Juneteenth” Holiday with Election Day as that replacement.

Works for me!
Eliminate the idiotic “Juneteenth” and make it Election Day or “Citizenship Day.”
“paper ballots over machines and requirements of government issued ID to match the voter file”
This will kill the democrats. They will sue over everything including the shade of ink….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep.
