    I’m in Texas and we’ve had damn near 2 weeks of early voting. I’m going in on Friday. If you don’t vote, you don’t have a ton of good excuses, especially with mail in voting.

    Not that I ultimately disagree, I think election day should be a national holiday, including midterms.

      Also in Texas and I was surprised at the line for early voting when I went. Usually I just walk in and walk out because there’s no one there before election day.

      Some states (I want to say Mississippi?) have no early voting and only absentee ballots with a good excuse. So yeah, a federal holiday or some provision for time off to vote would be awesome.
