I'm sure there is a significant amount of people in the US who work two shifts per day. I get the impression this is rather common in the lower to lower middle class. Voting seems hard for these people. But someone here said US companies have to give you time off to go vote, and if this is true then there are no impediments and these people can vote anyway, even though their paycheck for that day is cut by some amount. Some may choose not to, though, even though they beleive in democracy.

Rather than a federal voting holiday (which brings its own headaches), lobby your local legislature to add language to make the leave paid. It's more likely to happen in the states that don't have it than it is to happen federally. [0] http://www.findlaw.com/voting-rights-law.html http://www.findlaw.com/voting-rights-law.html
