Bernie Sanders just introduced a bill that would make Election Day a national holiday
“We should be doing everything possible to make it easier for people to participate in the political process,” Sanders said in statement about the bill. “While this would not be a cure-all, it would indicate a national commitment to create a vibrant democracy.“ He’s right, making it a national holiday could revolutionize democracy in America.
(Wait. You mean it’s not one in the States? How many countries don’t have election days as a government-mandated holiday, weekend or not?)
