Who in the government is fighting FOR this? and AGAINST this?

Not much sense to it. People who actually vote will do so with or without a holiday. People who don't will just use it as a day to party or relax and ignore voting. Vote-by-Mail is much better -- it can't be interfered with in the way the GOP has announced it will try to interfere with polling sites this coming election, and it provides actual paper ballots to check.
Or we could go with the method used in some countries -- a monetary fine for citizens who don't go and vote.

@ChipmunkErnie I disagree. I remember when I was young and working 7 days a week.
I worked and slept, in order to get ahead. Many people do not know what that is like.
Standing in line to vote is not a priority for someone that works that hard. I guess if
I would have just collected food stamps and welfare, I would have been more inclined
to vote for the party that promised to increase my welfare. But as a man, I refused
to take anything I did not earn.
This is exactly why hard working people want a voting holiday, and Democrats
do not.

@ChipmunkErnie Vote by mail has increased fraud via ballot harvesting and dumped ballots

@NativePortlander1970 According to Trumpers, yes -- according to very independent investigation, none. Even GOP-run investigations have concluded there is hardly any voter fraud in our elections.

@NativePortlander1970 Hanging chads destroyed more votes in one hour than every rogue mailman ever. AND, where I live at least, your mail-in ballot is tracked by the State Board of Elections and you receive e-mail notifications of its status every step of the way -- when it arrives, when its been verified, when it's been counted.
