    I have worked for companies that would rather pay out unemployment due to wrongful termination than give time off for voting.

    If voting day was a holiday, only people who get federal holidays off would get the day off. But it would be a great excuse to get rid of early voting.

    Easy fix (that almost every other country uses): vote on Sunday.

    Good thing no one has to work on Sundays. Easter Sunday is a federal holiday and there's plenty of people who still have to work.

    If voting day becomes a federal holiday, states that don't like the idea of poor people voting will do away with early voting.
