The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Making early, in-person voting available for at least two weeks prior to Election Day (76%),


Seems OK, in person voting is the most secure and allowing a two week window that includes a few late nights and a Saturday should make it easy for voters to schedule around their jobs, child care, to arrange transportation, or whatever.

Establishing Election Day as a national holiday (72%)

Conceptually no problem but there are too many "paid" federal holidays already. We keep finding ways to require less work. Is this even necessary given the two week early voting window above?

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

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

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.

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

and Implementing Election Day voter registration (57%).

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