Sounds good to me! While were at it, lets word propositions so that they are clear and understandable and have schools find interesting and engaging ways to teach the basics of how government works.HesCalledDyer said:dankind said:I also think all this early voting, mail-in voting, etc has made fraud an even greater threat.

Pennsylvania has no early voting but Ill be there at 7:00 am before work when the polls open.
and yes agree with PJ it should be a holiday. they don't make it very convenient.0 -
My grandpa was mayor of his small town in Ohio. He’d run as an independent because he wouldn’t get elected if he ran as a Democrat. My parents would always volunteer in local races, like mayor and state rep and were friends with some of them. I never miss and couldn’t imagine not voting. It would feel lime I’m committing some sort of betrayal.Ms. Haiku said:When I was to vote in my first presidential election, I told my Dad that I didn't like the candidates, and I wouldn't vote. He is the son of immigrants, and his grandpa was a mayor of a town in Italy.
He said if I don't vote, then I'm not part of the family. A little harsh, but obviously a pro-voting message.
Anyone else have pro-voting family stories?0 -
I had a pretty good US government/civics teacher -- thing is, everything he taught us is a charade. Same goes for my US history teacher.brianlux said:

My kids are being taught to call out bullshit when it's brought up in class. My daughter made me very proud when I got a note from her teacher after their Columbus Day lesson.

There is an Amendment to the Maryland State Constitution up for vote which will allow voter registration to remain open until the day of polling. If this doesn't pass, I'll be pissed.

Not enough ballots for early voters waiting in Miami (they did what they had to do to accommodate though). Good sign for voter turnout.

in canada it's law for a workplace to allow a certain amount of time paid leave to go vote. I don't bother, I just vote after dinner, but it's a good thing they do that for folks that are too busy with kids, etc, to leave the house to vote.pjhawks said:Pennsylvania has no early voting but Ill be there at 7:00 am before work when the polls open.

Is there not a similar law in the US? Surely there is something that ensures all people can go vote, even if they have shit employers who don't want them to take the time??HughFreakingDillon said:

some do not.
here in MN they do.0 -
just assumed not with all the calls for a "national holiday". I think a full day off to vote is a bit much. but I guess it depends how far you have to go to vote.PJ_Soul said:
