Election Day should be a national holiday

Voter turnout in the United States is flagging and trails most other developed, democratic countries. One reason why is that our elections are held during the work week and there’s no federal law that governs time off to vote. Only 23 states require paid time off to vote. Today, I joined with ElectionDay, which is trying to make election day a holiday for most companies. I also signed this petition that calls for a federal law.
