I’m reading that many modern countries do keep poles open for 3 days (or longer), including Russia.

It seems trivial that our elections are open for one day. Expanding it one day on each side would seem to benefit both sides.

Opening maximum access should be the aim of any modern democracy.

Most people here want to restrict it and make it as difficult as possible

Hence the "it needs to be one day in person voting only"nonsense

Hell no, the dims kept counting for 7 extra days in some places. They would go to an extra 30 days.

If we can know a big lottery winner the next morning we should be able to know a president in the same amount of time.

No, even some of the most remote 3rd world countries can manage having an election day and deciding the winner that day.

All the "muh democracy" folks just want more ways to steal elections.

Get your arse to the polls if you give a shite, if you don't, then stay home and don't bitch.

In areas that have early voting, the polls are open many more days than just one.

One day is enough. Grow up and vote the day that one day is on the calendar. If you miss it, so sad, too bad.

I would support a week long election as long as people had to vote in person.

Mail in ballots is where the fraud is.

The problem with America is we have way too many elections. There should be two 3 day periods yearly of in-person voting and extremely limited mail-in ballots when absolutely necessary.

Everyone must have an ID. No machines whatsoever.

Our processes should get a lot more rigorous.

If we enforced voter ID and got rid of the ridiculous absentee ballot leniency and drop boxes for a month than sure.

We don't need more stupid people voting, we need less and we don't need to make it easier on the left to cheat.

You either care or you don't.

If you care enough, you will make the appropriate arrangements to vote when it's time.

People died for this right.
