Bill introduced to move Election Day to weekend

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

The only problem with weekend elections is that they'd likely run afoul of religious observances. I'm not sure I want people attending a church for services the same day that a polling booth is open in one. And if we went Saturday instead of Sunday, would that be a slight to the Jewish?

I dunno, I sort of like the Tuesday tradition. A better solution would be to make "Election Tuesday" a national holiday instead.

plenty of people work on national holidays too.

True, but plenty of people work on weekends, too. Making Election Day a national holiday helps, but it's not a magic bullet by any measure.
