Well in Mexico, they vote on SUNDAY to maximize the opportunity for people to actually get out and vote as Election Day is a holiday.
Turnout in the last Mexican national election 2018 was 63%. Our turnout was 55% in 2016.
Under normal circumstances, one might agree that you should have to get up and get out to vote.
For a whole host of reasons, circumstances ground/are changing, ergo making alternate forms of voting for the entire electorate more appropriate.
Just as I am supremely confident that had the roles had been reversed, the Dems would have proceeded with "their" USSC candidate, if the Reps thought early voting was inuring to their advantage, they would not be saying anything against early voting at all.
Maybe, but it's the left that is much more likely to abuse the voting system.
Everything has a cost, and having only one date to vote is no exception. In my view, the benefits out weigh the cost.
Who knows though, if the left grows and grows in power, we will become like Latin America. Then we will have our one day of voting! Guess I was wrong when I said the left does no good.
Not originally my idea, but I strongly agree:
1. Election Day should be a national holiday.
2. Election Day should shortly follow tax day.
