Then it’s necessary to make voting a federal holiday. Like it is in other countries.

We don't have holidays here, but employers are required to provide us with a certain amount of consecutive free hours (which specific number I can't remember) inside voting hours.

  • That’s fine, except for places in the US (particularly poor urban areas) where you have to wait in line for hours and hours to vote - it would need to accommodate for that

Sure, but it's also important to reject gradus_ad's "should", which is completely baseless.
