Many people already do get the option to ditch out of work to go vote. And it's not logistically possible for _everyone_ to have the day off. So really this is just a matter of sliding the scale a bit so _more_ people can vote; at the cost of more inconvenience.
Personally, I'd rather just make mail-in voting more common.
- hellojesus 8mo agoI love mail in voting, but it does run the unique risk of having verifiable votes to third parties, which means it allows pay-for-votes. No election can mitigate this so long as your vote is provable to a third party.
