Election Day: Should We All Get Today Off Work?

Here’s an election question most of us actually AGREE on . . .

Should Election Day be a federal holiday?  A new poll found 70% of Americans think it’s a good idea.  Only 15% say no, and another 15% aren’t sure.

68% would take it a step further and require ALL companies to give people paid time off to go vote.

The counter-argument is do we really need it off now that early voting is a thing?  83% of people say it’s not that hard for them to find time to vote in 2024.

Regardless of all that, do you think TUESDAY is good for Election Day?  Or would another day be better?  The top answer in the poll was . . . keep it on Tuesday.

27% said Tuesday is best, another 27% said it doesn’t matter, and Saturday was next at 17%.  Thursday ranked last with just 2% of the vote.
