In Canada, we get mail in voting, advanced voting and voting stations are everywhere. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 mins to vote and the closet voting station is a 2 min drive from my house. They’re also open late and most employers give us time off to vote. Not sure if there’s a law for that but voting here is easy af yet some people still don’t bother.
Which, while a good idea, still screws over the working class that don’t get federal holidays off. In fact in many industries they are mandatory work days because of the increased business.
State and federal opt-out mail ballots for all I say.
if you think both parties are the same you’re living in a fkn alternate reality. Only one part is seeking to end democracy in America and set up reeducation camps
But both sides are the same or my vote is worthless or it’s too hard to vote or something
That said, election day not being a federal holiday is a crime.
In Australia it’s always on a Saturday, and it’s compulsory to vote. Works OK for us.
that sounds like a way for democracy to actually represent the will of the public. DEFINITELY not what they want in the U.S.

In Finland it’s on Sunday. And with I think two weeks to vote beforehand.

It is genuinely too difficult in some places thanks to voter suppression.
