I second Michael Tinstman regarding voting on weekends. I don’t think 15 hours every four years is enough time to assess the will of the nation. Not that there are no other opportunities to participate; they just don’t get this kind of promotion.
There isn’t supposed to be any promotion of a particular candidate or policy in or around a polling place. People are supposed to have made up their minds already, and anything which could show bias and potentially make a voter feel unwelcome is discouraged. Voters aren’t really encouraged to hang out in the booth all day cramming for the election, either.
It doesn’t seem like things really work that way, and it’s not like we proles are really being trusted with this decision anyway, so imaybe it’s okay to have some promotional material at the polls. It might lead to a few fistfights or something, wasn’t that originally a big part of American politics?
Also to Michael Tinstman: What you mean by weighted voting?
