    Once again I ask: Why aren't our elections held on Sunday or Saturday? Why no automatic or poll-site registration, even for primaries?

        It's pretty obvious, having them on Tuesday's is a vote suppressor. It's not like folks don't get this, they absolutely do.

        I do worry if moving elections to weekends would block (working class) people who work weekends from turning out as much as those who don't.

        I guess it's about trade offs, will more poor folk be harmed on a Tuesday or Saturday. Maybe you make Election Day a holiday.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Good thing employers never demand low wage workers come in on a holiday!

        Lol aren't there countries that demand businesses close on Election Day? Not a perfect solution but it's surely better than status quo imo.

        We're probably going to need a big change before American politics accepts "government forcing businesses to close" as a viable option.

        I hate this phrase, but this is prob a "don't let perfect be enemy of the good" deal. Do more proooe work on Saturdays or Tuesdays is the Q.

        Because the current system is highly protective of incumbents, who also are the ones who decide on the rules.

        The answer at the local level is the IDC. They block everything decent.

        polls are open for weeks - week and weekend days, it's called early voting.

        we should also mail ballots to each voter, so they can vote by mail and in person.

        Think that idea for potential voter fraud has already been played out in New Hampshire and now this.😱 https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/09/11/study-finds-non-citizens-unknowingly-registered-vote/amp/ …
