As I got my gear together for the July 4th weekend my mind wandered to the idea of Election Day as a national holiday. That’s how a fair number of other countries handle it. The idea has been bruited about for years in the US. In fact, that’s how some US states handle it. Why not take the idea all the way. The day itself has already been nationally mandated.

I’m not sure that I’m as happy with another solution some areas choose, the possibility of early voting.
