And maybe make Election Day a state/federal holiday for certain elections. As a commuter, it's darned inconvenient to go to a polling place either very early or very late on a workday, especially when going at lunch would be a two-hour round trip. <BR/><BR/>The current system also makes me unlikely to trek down to the polling station for some dinky local election, even though the Sanitation Commissioner probably has a bigger direct impact on my life than many other officials. You know, the garbage man can (cue music...). <BR/><BR/>I'm a little sad Royal didn't win from a "Gee, I wish there were more women world leaders" perspective, but I didn't follow the elections really closely. <BR/><BR/>-SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
