I've never understood why elections are held on a Tuesday. Why aren't they held on a Sunday, which would eliminate the excuse of "I have to go to work"?
If you work at someplace other than Chik-Fil-A you're not guaranteed Sundays off either
Early voting solves this. There are some voting booths open all week, then on the Saturday/Sunday the main vote happens and they all open. If you can't make the Sunday you pop in during the week.
There are people who work on Sundays.
I could be wrong, but I'm inclined to believe that many more people work on Tuesdays than Sundays.
