I think election day being a state holiday is more important than a holiday celebrating traitors...RICHMOND, Va. (WSET) -- A bill that would scrap the state's Lee-Jackson holiday, celebrating two Confederate generals, has passed the Virginia Senate. Governor Ralph Northam has also proposed to make Election Day a state holiday so that every Virginian has the time and opportunity to cast their ballot.
Senate votes to scrap Lee-Jackson Day in Virginia, make Election Day state holiday
Times are changing fast boys and girls.
I think election day should be a federal holiday....it insures a higher voter turn out -- something that scares Republicans shit less...
Why should election day be a holiday if early voting is allowed?
One or the other, not both.
Better yet --- why should Election Day be on a friggin' Tuesday?
More eighteenth-century technology whose time passed generations ago.
Better a weekday than a weekend. if you want to go with one day voting you want mass transit and other things to be on a weekday schedule.
Good luck getting transit unions to agree to that though.
"Mass transit"?
You're suddenly concerned about the city vote now?
I am never against valid voters voting.
Find one example of me saying otherwise.
