Topic	Ocasio-Cortez says to replace Columbus Day with a holiday for election day

This would mean that too many people in urban areas would be able to vote. Even if election day is a holiday most people aren't getting the day off. Many businesses remain open on holidays. I think the argument is that if you make election day a Federal holiday it would put pressure on the States to follow suit. You know which states would immediately match it too and which wouldn't. Now if you live in a state that didn't I wonder if that's challengable in court. Don't get me wrong. I'm completely for making election day a holiday. But let's not pretend like making it a holiday will make everyone have a day off to vote. --- https://imgur.com/BBcZDLJ <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:912684044] in Ocasio-Cor...
