No, because then I can't vote until after sunset (nor would many orthodox Jews). Tuesdays may not be the best days, but I can't think of any day that would necessarily be better. If I knew ahead of time that I couldn't vote on Election Day, then I'd just request an absentee ballot.
You just said in your last sentence how to avoid the issue of the first sentence.
Well most polling places are open until 7 or 8pm, which is after sunset. And again, you're talking about a problem that only affects maybe 1% of the population or less.
True, but my state holds primaries in August, when sunset often isn't until 9PM or later, after the polls close. I kind of agree with Del Tachi on this one:
Weekends are a bad idea because it would require that certain state employees who work with elections would have to be compensated for an extra day of work.
Early voting is lax enough in most states that no one really has the inability to vote due to lack of time.
