They complain because, thanks to you and I, they can't afford to miss a day of work in order to vote, and that isn't changing no matter who we elect.

In the Netherlands the voting stations are open between 7:30 and 21:00 to somewhat mitigate the work issue.

We should really hold elections on Sundays though. Open up mail-in for the bible belt.

I guess that mail-in votes are still considered being active on a resting day though (by the SGP crowd), so they might still be against sunday voting.

We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
