        You know what would be nice? If voters chose Dem nominees for POTUS. @DNC admits in court ONLY elites choose. Why even hold primaries?

        Why a DAY? Open voting for three weeks. Makes sure it is long enough that 99.9% of jobs will have a day off in there.

        Nice idea, but this makes it more difficult for the powers that be to suppress voters.

        Eliminate the polling place altogether. Automatic registration. Mail the ballots. No intimidation at the polls, no lines, NO EXCUSES.

        Follow Germany's example: - election day is on a Sunday - absentee voting is available for everyone. This ain't rocket science, Jesus.

        Illinois has early voting for a month in some locations. I always take advantage of it and there's never a line.

        I say not on the weekend. It would bar Sabbath keepers (like me) from voting. Easier access, by removing voter ID laws etc. Is better.

        Have Pre Poll voting for those who work, are too ill, or religious. It's how we do it in Australia. We vote on Saturdays 8am-6pm.
