Establishing Election Day as a national holiday (72%)

Conceptually no problem but there are too many "paid" federal holidays already.


Combine another Federal Holiday with it. Easy peasy.

Allowing people convicted of felonies to vote after serving their sentences (69%)

No strong feelings either way. Leave it as a states issue.


No, If we leave it to the states it becomes a voter suppression issue, so let's just make it that for the Federal elections they can vote.

Permitting any voter to vote by mail (57%)

Only if a Rock Solid verification process can be devised. And ballots must be requested and not mass mailed to everybody in the database.


Mike, it is rock solid right now - right as you sit on your arse it is rock solid. Use you google fu. I define rock solid as it is not reasonably even close for illegal votes to be outcome determinative. AND - most states mail out ballots to people who have requested mail in ballots before. This is reasonable. So if you request a mail in ballot, or have voted by mail in the past, you should get a ballot in the mail.

Automatically registering voters if they interact with a government agency (57%)

Your eligibility to vote is unrelated to the government agencies you come into contact with


You are an absolute waster of money Mike. Here in Florida, when you get your driver's license, you are automatically registered to vote. You have to bring your qualifications with you and they are listed on the internet. So when you interact to get or renew your driver's license, you are also interacting about your voter registration.

and Implementing Election Day voter registration (57%).

OK as long as any votes submitted that day are provisional.


As they should be - and subject to the same rigor everyone else gets.
