I agree with that, but what if you’re on some trip on Election Day?

What if you work in the service industry and you have work on that day?
I don’t see the downside.

Board Poll - Election day a Federal Holiday? YES or NO!

With the ease of mail-in voting in Colorado, we don't need it here.

That is when the people paying the taxes are working. But why do you need a full day for something

I see, your place where you work is across the street from your residence.

Relax, I am only saying that a half day should be plenty if anything....

BaronVonZemo

Lets see, which half would that be?

My bad, I forgot, having every citizen vote is a Socialist idea.

Voting is a privilege that many people in the world don’t enjoy and should be treated as such

Your point being....?

Democrats who vote should have their fingers died purple....

I think it was in Iraq to prevent multiple voting...but if it makes you feel good go for it...

Of course you're bad. That's what democratic socialism all about.

NO!

Yes, but we should restrict voting to only landowners.

That goes too far, but there is merit underlying the joke. How about this...

Only men should be allowed to vote. There wouldn’t be a Democrat in office.

Why waste an entire day on something that can take less than an hour?

Which election? Pls separate local election day from federal election day. Then I'll support making
-
Eli
- 1:54pm 1/31/19
OK maybe, but only if there is no early voting. How can you vote before all the most possible
-

No too many millenniels would participate. Now they just want to go out
-
THEISMANCARR
- 1:51pm 1/31/19
Yes, but early voting would have to be eliminated.

Sure...that's likely to happen...

Yes, but move election day to April 16th.

What would that help?

I've accepted that neither party will stop spending money they don't have, for now. But...

It would be nice, but no one seems to make that connection.

"Vote for the guy that promises to lower taxes." Heh. That's funny.

That’s a great idea but 48% of Americans pay no federal income taxes
[NT]
-
PBHangingChad
- 12:30pm 1/31/19
And of the other 52%, about 3/4ths get refunds.
[NT]
-
LehighND
- 12:59pm 1/31/19
Refunds of excess money the govt made them pay so it could collect the interest instead.
[NT]
-
BaronVonZemo
- 3:44am 2/1/19
Oh, and we should end withholding. Everyone should have to save and write a check. No refunds.
-
NedoftheHill
- 12:59pm 1/31/19
That would be a collections nightmare.
-
LehighND
- 1:27pm 1/31/19
I think we'd do fine on the honor system for taxes.

You already advocate it for voting.

Good point. Everyone should have some skin in the game, no matter how little.

Nahhh - there are better things to spend $450mm a year on.

In theory, yes, always should have been. We should celebrate democracy.

- 12:01pm 1/31/19
WHY? Absentee voting. Advance voting. They should OPEN the schools on Election Day.

Seems we could just vote on Saturday and solve the problem

Only if ND has a bye that week.

Doesn’t really matter, most democrat voters don’t work anyway!

Right. That was two years ago. It's a bit different now that he has had a chance to govern.

I'm actually fine with a holiday. Nov. 11, Veterans & Election Day Holiday. Early voting prohibited.

What's the beef with early voting?
-
LehighND
- 1:27pm 1/31/19
Increases Democratic turnout
-
Chris94
- 2:19pm 1/31/19
You are correct. Republicans are against felons voting also, wonder why?
[NT]
-
PBHangingChad
- 2:23pm 1/31/19
Right, because suppressing turnout is crucial to their victories in tight races
-
Chris94
- 2:37pm 1/31/19
Or you could say Dems need pampering to vote

PBHangingChad

Code for: Republicans need to jerrymander to win an election.

jimbasil
- 3:55pm 1/31/19
Not a huge beef. But, I think making everyone vote on the same day increases civic belongingness
-
NedoftheHill
- 1:33pm 1/31/19
Couldn’t agree more.
[NT]
-
jimbasil
- 4:19pm 1/31/19
too many fed holidays. If you want one bad enough then give one up

Hank the Tank

We don’t need Presidents’ Day or MLK Jr day, so there’s two.

OK.

NedoftheHill
- 3:45pm 1/31/19

LehighND
- 3:06pm 1/31/19
I agree with that, but what if you’re on some trip on Election Day?

Rocket91

We can work in special exceptions.
