As I see the news about the lines of people attempting to cast an early vote for the candidate of their choice, I realize the folly of an election day on a Tuesday. I would like to see the polls open for two days, Saturday and Sunday, the first weekend in November from 6 am to 6 pm with hours open ended on both days to accommodate people in line. Continue to have absentee balloting for those who cannot physically make it to their polling place. I would also suggest that ballot propositions be placed on a separate ballot on another day, thus leaving only a few candidates on the election days, the presidential tickets, senators, congress people, and a few state legislators.
We have to get this right.
