This Sunday is the last day for early voting in Ohio. There's no voting this Monday but lots more polling places open open on election day Tuesday. I voted yesterday though.
Bcs the few are important & worshipped, the many are expendable and barely deserving of human-level acknowledgment.

(or at least I wish it was sarcasm)
'cause apparently you guys elect a king every 4 years, with the power to completely change the course of your country, so it's only right you honour him accordingly
Early voting is a better solution to the problem than making it a day off, though.
Fun fact! The official name for that holiday is Washington's Birthday.
I don't know the story behind its label of President's Day but on the federal reserve's website it shows:
"Washington's Birthday (President's Day)"
We have it in Malaysia if the polling date is in weekdays, and we usually have general election on Saturday so most people have no reason not to vote. And even then, we have law that said employer cannot stop employees from going to vote and this is heavily enforced. Though our election is only one day, and once the polling station close, anything or anyone that arrive afterward is not counted
I agree, giving people the day off to encourage voting makes more sense than honoring unnamed presidents (Washington and Lincoln if you're too young to remember). Repubs overall won't go for this because they know more voting is bad for them. Wacky, huh?
For all the shitty things about missouri, they have voting done up pretty well. 2 hours paid time off required to go vote on election day and anyone can show up like a month ahead of election day to their county clerks office or wherever the counties location is set up to early vote, plus a mail in voter system for people who can't physically go vote. I already vote a couple weeks ago and it took like 15 minutes.
Cause Americans want to BBQ not do their civic duty. If you made election day a holiday, voting numbers would Plummet while Americans get drunk and grill burgers
I mean in my state I now have like 8 election days off.
