In this process, why not just take 75% of your campaign money and hire a ton of "mercenaries" to take people to the polls. Maybe buy them lunch and give them a "propaganda onslaught" heading to the voting booth. Our elections would become even a bigger joke than they are now.
There are current exclusions for most employees and most polls open at 6 AM. So, if you work a job from 6 AM to 8 PM, you get a little screwed in the deal and need to get an early ballot. But everyone else has numerous opportunities (early AM, evening, vote absentee/early ballot, use the state "time to vote" option with your employer). All adding more day/time will do is allow more shenanigans from both sides to essentially "buy" elections.
