As the election gets closer (well it is a long way off, but they drag it out here in the states) people start to talk a little more about politics.
My brother had the obvious idea of making voting day a national holiday. We WANT higher turn out, so lets enable it as much as possible!
Traditionally it is people of lower classes that don’t make it to the polls, and anyway to help them vote is good in my book (especially as it will help get this pseudo-president out of power).
Here in Boston, St Paddy’s day comes with a day off work, so surely election day could be :)
ps. I am looking forward to my first paddy’s day in Boston!
