@WeighedDown 🙂

@MaryJanine The Vikings came to the US before he did.

@Zonuss

Not sure about the U.S.

But I [i]know [/i]they went to Greenland. Maybe that's why Trump want to buy it?

@beckyromero Well Greenland is close enough. But I do believe they also hit Canada a time or two.

@MaryJanine IMHO, we need to be making it as easy as possible for everybody to vote. EVERYBODY, not just people with a light schedule, or an understanding boss, no kids to fix dinner for, etc. Having Election Day on a Tuesday - a workday for most people - means that people with asshole bosses, young children, etc., have to try to cram voting in around work and family obligations.

Besides, my idea was not to add another paid holiday, but to delete the Columbus Day holiday and make Election Day the holiday instead. But even if I was calling for having two holidays, U.S. corporations can afford it.

@SmartKat Not everybody who was eligible to vote registers or is registered and casts their votes. Give some people another holiday and what do some of them do? Sleep in all day? Have a BBQ party or other festival? NOT ALL of them, but when you give some folks another paid holiday, they usually do nothing.

My mom was a election judge while raising four kids. We were luckier than most because we had two grandmothers and an older sister to do for us, but if she had had a paying hourly job anywhere else (this was in the late fifties and early sixties) the bosses in most places gave you grief if you asked for time off to vote. They did it to my father when he asked for time in the same period. How times have changed.

@MaryJanine The kids are happy to be out. 🙂
