Not a TERRIBLE idea, but employers ARE currently required by law to give employees time off to vote on election day, IIRC.
This would also have the opposite effect on blue-collar restaurant and service-industry workers, IMO. Instead of getting time off to vote, workers in restaurants, hotels, resorts etc. would be pulling double-shifts on those days to accommodate those with an extra day off.
Let’s just make it easier, faster, and more convenient to vote. More options – accessible absenteeism, more polling stations, more machines, voter receipts and transparent counting…
