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.


And don't forget idiot football fans that will forget to vote due to watching their team play on Saturday or Sunday

What happens to activities such as football and church if election day hold on the weekend?
