[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize a lot of don’t have the day off.  Neither of us do.  I took off today and my husband took off Friday.  Those are regular work days for non government employees.  [/quote]

"Took off" to vote? Do you live in a place with early voting? Or maybe he took off Friday to go vote early? There's early voting on weekends where I live in VA.

I do agree--limiting voting to election day only is horrible. This is why early and mail-in voting enfranchises many more people, especially those who work more than one job and truly have no time to go vote within specific hours on one day. [/quote]

Uh, no.  Schools are closed Tuesday for election day and Friday for Veterans Day.  We both work.  We split it and took off because our kids are home from school.  For those who say - find a one day camp! It’s not that easy to find ones with hours that actually fit your working hours and workable with commutes.  We each took a day off this week because we needed supervision for the kids.  [/quote]
