      Reform #3: Either make election days national holidays or put them on the weekend. This is the standard around the world.

          Thank you for making that point @jxpx777. As a nurse, I agree that we need better voting alternatives for those of us in 24/7/365 jobs.

          Just go to all-absentee ballots like they do in Oregon & Washington. No more buggy voting machines or waiting in long lines.

          how about week long voting - Tuesday to Tuesday, with weekend hours and Thursday evening, plus a full holiday on the second Tuesday.

          Or, at the very least, force businesses to allow time off for voting, as they do in Canada.

          I had to bring a note to work, signed by an election worker, so I could take time off work to vote. 😐
