      So here’s a proposal for the common good, supported by the very non Democrat @DouthatNYT: an Election Day holiday. Do you support that?

      In exchange for abolishing early voting & at-will absentee ballots?

      If those things don’t increase fraud, why does there need to be a trade-off?

      National holidays are expensive.

      So you oppose an Election Day holiday on the grounds of expense? Is that also the reason, you think, that IA reduced its Election Day hours? That surely had nothing to do with “fraud.”

      Recall also the Carter commission’s proposed combining Vetran’s Day and Election Day holiday. Perhaps this might be a way to save taxpayer dollars.

      The thing is, people with full-time jobs have traditionally been very high turnout voters.

      But that’s very class segmented between salaried workers and wage workers. Professionals can carve out time, at their convenience, to vote—secretaries and poultry workers don’t have that option. A holiday eliminates that problem.

      Very few secretaries work more than an 8, maybe in a few cases 10, hour day. Anybody who works 10 hours a day or less can easily vote.

      Why wouldn’t you want to make the right of franchise easy to exercise, not something that has to be squeezed into a busy day by people who don’t have the flexibility of professional workers? You think it’s easy for a person working in a warehouse to vote? Why maintain hurdles?

      A paid holiday has both benefits & costs. Not saying I could never accept it as part of a deal, but the benefits seem rather slim.

          If it makes it easier for non professional employees (and, for that matter, vs students or retirees too) to vote, why would that not be bothi desirable but also an obvious affirmation of democracy. We really can’t afford to make Election Day a holiday? What is the downside?

          That was a bit awkward—I meant to write that working class people have the least flexibility, the most challenges to voting conveniently compared to professionals/retirees/students. In a one person/one vote democracy, why can’t we even those odds a bit?
