We need to change how we vote, one shot Tuesdays don't work

They work out well for repukes who want to suppress the vote, I wish we started on Friday and went until Sunday afternoon, that way anyone who wanted to would be able to vote without having to take time off from work, stand in line for hours, have time to get to the right place if they're wrong.
We're a participatory democracy when more people get to speak their mind we're better off. If we win through this yea, that needs to be a high priority, that and throwing electronic voting machines into the nearest body of water.

they'd be calling the race at 7pm on friday night.

but possible to get them to wait until Sauday afternoon.

but aren't employers required to let people off work to go vote? Also, I think a number of states are using early voting, which is open like the weekend before up to and including election day.

but i don't think anyone else gets time off to vote, I just believe that more people would vote over a two to three day period, and that would be good for us.

Employers are required by law to let their workers have up to three hours to go vote. Most folks don't take advantage of this, choosing instead to vote either coming into work or going home, but that provision is there.

And opening up the election for an entire weekend would be a drastic mistake. More time to commit all sorts of fraud, especially in the dead of night when few, if anybody is around.

One day voting works fine when the rules and regs are followed. Trouble is that they're not being followed and nobody is being called to account for it.

Maybe 2 weeks, I've never counted it. We drop off ballots all times of the day and night. We use all opti-scan. The only complaints in Oregon had to do with registration. People can't afford to lose wages to vote, which is how we end up with flooded polls and not enough machines to count the votes. People leave, which means Dem precincts never get a full turn-out which means they get less machines the next year, depressing turn-out again, and down down it goes. I really wish people would stop getting in the way of what we need to get real election reform. An election holiday, a few days to vote, vote by mail; all these things would be preferable to the nightmare we've got now.

we need to open up more polling places, after the horror stories of the past elections with people being shut out, having to go to court in order to ensure that they weren't disenfranchised by the clock, at the very least we need to do something there.
It makes more sense to me to go after these problems than to worry about who can marry who.

Open up more polling places, perhaps longer hours, etc.

And yes, this along with many, many other things is much more important that worrying about who marries whom. Hell, I wouldn't care if little Ricky Santorum married a box turtle just so long as he opened up some more polling places.

I don't think any state requires people be paid if they leave work to vote. We should at least have early voting in every state. I wish we had focused on more of this sort of thing the last few years instead of just machine hacking.

You can vote when you have time as long as you make sure it reaches the County Clerk's office before a certain date. It's a paper ballot too, making it more secure than the e-voting machines.

vote by mail would be even better.

we even had a special election here to improve our water.

Sorry just saw where you are. I vote in Louisiana and we vote on Saturdays. Guess I should have stated who the "we" I was referring to was.
