Exactly my point, thank you.

For such an important right, and a decision that will last at least the next 4 years, why wouldn’t we expand the voting to 3 days to ensure every eligible voter has a chance to exercise this right.

It’s easy to say “just make it a priority” on voting day. What we all know is life happens and many people are unable to get to a poll when it’s open only one day.

The fact less than 50% of eligible voters partake on average is very telling of this.

All polls are open at least 12 hours each day. And, not sure about other states, but in Tennessee, your employer is required to give you 3 hours paid time off to vote. So there's literally no reason to not be able to get to the poll and vote on voting day.

As people have already said, most states have early voting.
I hope that everyone voting for Trump takes advantage of early voting.
