    Unless they’re going to do something like require octuple pay for anyone working on an election day, which in turn would fuck up the financial math of any business thinking about opening that day, making it a holiday won’t fix anything.

    Mandate vote by mail federally. While your at it, copy Mexicos voter ID system and give everyone free voter ID’s.
