    I’m against it ever so mildly but not for you-must-earn-your-vote reasons.

    I fear it will become a 4 day holiday weekend and will decrease turnout.

    I’d rather have early voting, in person, with ID. But a good two weeks where you can vote.

    Mail in this year for Covid.

    But first you need to make me king.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Good thoughts, @jon.

        It is just another tax on employers.

              Yeah, just as much as Christmas and Thanksgiving and Independence Day are taxes on employers.

                All of which is not a cogent argument for adding another one.

                  No need to add. An even exchange is fine. Swap one of the existing holidays for voting day.

                      I just looked at all our national holidays. They could for the most part all be put on the racist burn pile.

                        I’ve never needed to stand in line longer than 5 minutes to vote and in most cases never waited at all. My polling center has always been within easy walking distance and not out of the way. I suspect the same is true for 99% of Americans.

                          Maybe 99% of suburban voters.

                            @LuFins-Dad in 2012, I waited for 4 hours to vote, and I live in northern VA. In 2016, I just mailed an absentee since I was on a golf trip. 🙂

                              How about Black History Month?
