Election day on a Tuesday is INSANE. It almost seems like that is designed to prevent the working class from voting.

- aaronbrethorst 9y agoI don’t know if that’s the explicit aim, but it certainly has that effect. I’m grateful that I live in Washington, where we get our ballots a couple weeks before Election Day, which gives us a chance to do proper due diligence and return our ballots via mail. Return rates still aren’t high enough, but at least it’s not because people are prevented from making it to their polling place because of other obligations. One step at a time...
