Two Pleas to Voters
This is a plea for voting day to be on Sunday, not a working day like Tuesday.
Isn’t it about time that we recognize that we have become an urban society? It now takes long hours to reach our workplace, by way of freeways, public transportation and private auto. We expect the working person to either get up very early to vote and go to work, or get to the voting booth after a long day’s work and commute.
Of course this requires none of the above from the rich, retired and old. So it is they who really are able to vote.
Let’s do what many countries in Europe do--make Sunday the day of voting. Why not give everyone an equal chance to make this into a true democracy?
