oh I know we don't do it on Sunday. America was so spread out that it took days to get into and kind of town. So you go to church on Sunday then travel on the on Sunday/Monday and and vote on Tuesday.

Yes, they did what was convenient for those times. I don't think it's comvenient anymore though, so why not change it? If people start serving a tradition instead of the tradition serving the people... just get rid of it?

Well in the us voting is done on many days. The official election has to held on Tuesday but you have weeks in advance of early voting. You really have to have many days of voting for a population this size.

How about you'd do both? It is possible to have early voting AND vote on a day where more people are home from work by default.
