Nice, here is an actual relevant map:

It’s really about split whether or not states will let you leave work to vote

It also helps to have an employer that cares about most holidays.

Businesses like food service can often be five times busier on a holiday. It’s all hands on deck. Even the ones where there isn’t a federal day off like Halloween and Election Day

Dems win if voter turn out is too high, so Republican block attempts to make it a day off. So why didn’t Biden push it through when Dems last had the house and the senate?

Because Dems need something to cry about every cycle. They could do so many things if they actually wanted to.

Because they’ve never had the senate. You need 60 votes to get past the fillabuster and to fix THAT you’d need Sinama and Manchin to agree to that.

I think that’s only been 4 months out of the last 50 years, and I bet there was some pretty fundamental stuff to unfuck first. And then they ran out of time.

Bus doesn’t even run on Sundays where I live in large areas (one of the top 10 largest cities in the US)
