Are there really that many people that want to vote and can't under the current system because it's on a Tuesday and are too stupid/ignorant to vote any other way? Do we really want more stupid/ignorant people voting?
Example: I worked from 8-2 on Tuesday, then had class from 3-7. I found out that I had to cover that shift the day before, so it was obviously too late to get an absentee ballot. It takes just over an hour to drive from home to work, when you account for rush hour traffic, and driving home to my polling place would be waaay out of my way when I'm driving between work and school. Georgia polls are open 7-7. I would not have been able to vote last week if my professor hadn't canceled my second class; as it is, I was the very last person to vote in my precinct.
Are you seriously insinuating that someone like me is "stupid/ignorant" just because I manage to balance being a full-time student with a full-time job? And I would somehow be less ignorant if I worked less and/or didn't go to school? Don't be ridiculous.Alright, good argument. Consider my position changed and my argument void.
