    I don't see any reason to do so.
    It will not increase the voter turnout.
    It would actually make things more difficult, as banks and government offices would close.

    I wonder if it's a holiday in other countries. I'll ask. Thank you for your reply Walt!

    I heard on NPR a while ago, that it is a national holiday in some country.  I think it was in Asia.  And people are required to vote - and many of them have picnics and such.

    It's kinda hard for folks who work and have to commute long distances. I think anything that can be facilitated to enable folks to vote without having to pay a stiff price for it like missing a day's work (it would obviously be a PAID HOLIDAY in a RosieG administration.) would be a good thing. Thank you for your reply Walt. Sounds like a grand idea! A picnic! Thank you for your reply and the info! :) This post was edited by RosieG at September 17, 2020 10:42 AM MDT
