Election Day as a holiday does nothing for retail workers. Easy, accessible early and universal mail voting does more for everyone. Look at how Washington or Oregon (I forgot which) does it and emulate that.

I agree, but I think on principle it should be a holiday. We still need volunteers at the polls, as well as counters, observers, and all that. It'd be good to grow that pool.

And I also wish there was more teeth to declaring a holiday in this country, but that's another issue.
