Virginia Makes Election Day a Holiday

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. Early voting, which is included in this,

is far, far better than the day being a national holiday.

Too many states (I'm looking at you Pennsylvania, and you New York) have election day only voting. If that one day were made a holiday, even fewer people would be able to vote because all of the retail establishments would be holding election day blow-out sales and their employees would not find it possible to get to a polling place, especially if they work some distance from their polling place. And probably very few businesses would close all day, despite the holiday designation.

Actually to go to a complete vote by mail as Colorado, Washington State, and Oregon have done is the best solution.
