There is no longer any reason whatsoever for elections to be held during the middle of the week, when low-income voters have a difficult time getting off. Elections need to be held on Saturdays.
Why is this important?
It is way past time for elections to be held on Saturdays, not Tuesdays, for it allows poor voters a better opportunity to get to the polls. It is far more difficult for low-level workers to get off during the middle of the work week, and farmers and ranchers no longer need the few days it used to take to go the polls. Today, with the right wing doing all it can to disenfranchise voters with new voter ID laws, it is high time to change election day to Saturday.
