This is going to seem strange, because compromise is a dying art, but if you see the other reply, why not both? Why have it just be a day? Why not make it a multi-day window precisely because, no matter which day you make it, somebody will bellyache with an objection?

At the end of the day, what would things look like if one side didn't want a lot of people to vote? Would we see a lot of the things that we see now?

That’s what Mail-in ballots accomplish. So if we had an Election Day holiday AND mail-in then everybody is covered

With you, and love mail-in ballots, but have you heard about the party that's trying to end mail-in voting in PA (after voting unanimously for it in the PA Senate previously)?

If if Election day is declared a holiday there are still people who have to work. People work on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Since the point whistling past you made such a lovely sound, let's play it again.

Why not make it a multi-day window precisely because of the "folks gotta work" bellyaching retorts?

Oh, you didn't get what I was saying.

I was saying you're acting like a miserable asshole, for literally no reason, and therefore would be shitty to be around especially at festive things like a party.
