In terms of participation, the United States ranks 122 worldwide.

1) Should we try to change it?
No

2) Initially, we were an agrarian society that had to travel to the county seat to v**e and for religious reasons couldn't travel on Sunday. That isn't the case today so wouldn't v****g on Saturday be better as it would make it easier to participate?
Make it Friday and Saturday

3) Should states be required to open more polls in order to shorten the waiting time?
E******n boards are supposed to monitor wait times and respond by reducing lines and time, red states aggressively make lines and time in line longer by reducing hours, polling stations, and machines

4) Should we make v****g mandatory?
No, people too ignorant and apathetic to v**e are i***ts anyway.

You mean a poll tax. They tried that and I am pretty sure it is unconstitutional. How about we just move v****g to the first Saturday of November and increase the number of polls in each state.


There are states that allocate polling stations according to previous lines and expected v**er numbers, they do not have the newsworthy long lines. The problems we hear about are states where high population centers are having hours, stations, and machine numbers cut with an intention to increase lines and wait times. It isn't that hard to properly allocate to improve lines and wait times if an e******n board wants to.

Early b****ts/mail in b****ts solve these issues. But I agree that v****g on Saturday would be good.

But no v****g shouldn't be mandatory! In fact, I kinda like the Heinlein idea of having to first serve you country or community in some capacity to become an American citizen instead of American resident and get the franchise. Thus proving you actually care about your country or fellow citizen. But that would be unconstitutional.
