Why Tuesday? asks why we have election days on tuesdays. Good question.

There has been an NGO called Why Tuesday? asking the question:  Why is election day on a tuesday?  Among other electoral reforms, they have supported voting on a day more accessible to voters; they advocate a federal holiday for general election day.

Tuesday is in the middle of the work week.  Not as many people have the freedom to vote on Tuesday as on the weekend.

Civic responsibility demands that we encourage as many people as possible to vote.  Having primaries/ caucuses, runoffs and general elections on the weekend is a major step in that direction.

The trials of voting

Have you ever had a bad experience voting?

People talking politics while you're in line; going to the wrong polling station; avoiding others that are hanging around the ballot box; don't have a photo id; not finding your voter registration card; following vote counts in other states before casting your vote?

It's a matter of consideration and democracy.  One person, one vote.  Sometimes voters and precincts being reformed is a good attitude.

All of the states' elections officials should be politically non-partisan

As this is Labor Day, all of the races for the November, 2016 elections are heating up.

Each states' Secretaries of State should be supporting clean and fair elections.  This demands impartial election administration, from the filing of candidacies through the final ballot counts.

It is all of the voters' interest for all of their Secretaries of State be politically non-partisan. Otherwise, some campaigns can't trust the elections' results.

Let us join Arizona and the other states that have non-partisan election officials, and see that candidates up and down the ballot enjoy non-partisan voting administrations.
