Does "Election Day" favor the Democrats

I think Election Day does favor the Democrats simply because it is held on a workday ... why not a Saturday?

Those "less fortunates" can or will turn out in record numbers for a left wing promised hand-out. While a gainfully employed right winger has a few hours after work to head to the polls. Yeah I know it's a legal holiday in some states, however take California's position on that. Their law is voting must be allowed by employers, but none offer paid time off ...

Early voting is possible via mail, however just how many do that besides almost the entire state of Oregon?

We can still vote on Tuesdays, if that's so important to everyone, but let's open the polls for one 24 hour period. The polls open at 7:00 a.m. Eastern and close 24 hours later. We accomplish two things here. First ... pretty much everyone has a much better chance to vote. Instead of having the work day fill up 75% of the time the polls are open, those eight hours would fill only 25% of the time allotted for voting. Secondly ... since all polls would close at exactly the same time there would be little chance for the news media to screw things up with claims of victory as soon as the polls close on the east coast.

But why not a Saturday? NCAA Footbal?? Christams shopping??

I would really prefer if we could vote on a Saturday. As political as I am on the blog, I don't like asking for time to go vote from my work. Instead, I'll drive like an idiot and make it back in time.

Calling Florida home since 1982 ... hometown Albany NY. Besides whoever heard of Guilderland NY ... LOL. So I always say Albany. A Navy veteran (1972) who still gets goose bumps hearing the Star Spangled Banner. Enjoy theater, movies, music, bowling and swimming. Hiding face now ... and online cards as in spades ... LMAO. Staunch Republican with a hint of Libertarian ... coz we all know we need less Government in our daily lives. And having said that does not mean I support Ron Paul one bit ... that man scares me as much as a Clinton leading the very best place on Earth to live.
