Of course, people would be pissed to lose a three day weekend once every four years in order to get that Tuesday off. And people might even try turning it into a four day weekend--though November isn't really the best time to be four day weekending.

Anyway, it might or might not help to make that a holiday. I like the symbolism of it--but I do wonder if it will get anyone else out to vote vs. the way it is now.

I actually agree. I think election day in the country should be a holiday.
