Because easy and accessible voting is extremely bad for one party.
Because corporations own you and this means they can pressure how you vote in key states.
Early voting is a better solution to the problem than making it a day off, though.
“We”? Who are “we”? Star fleet?
People have to remember that this is the Internet, this thing is global.
We don’t get the day off to vote in MN but you are legally allowed to take time off to go vote (with pay). So when I was in the office, I always voted in the middle of the day right after my lunch hour.
Our boss just took us out to lunch and gave us four hours off the rest of the day to go out and vote, which is probably the most encouragement to vote I think I’ve ever gotten from any boss before. I’m sure I was entitled to it this whole time, but it’s never been encouraged like this before with this boss at any of my other workplaces, if anything, previous bosses probably would’ve talked shit if I said that’s what I wanted to do with my time.
