This amendment would prevent elections from ending on a holiday Monday. I think we saw, from the beginning of the debate, the confusion around what mail-in ballots look like and the fact that they would be opened on Tuesdays. To me, if we're worried about what happens when these ballots are mailed in, the simplest solution is to not have an election on a holiday Monday. That would include Thanksgiving Day and perhaps the long weekend in May, whatever it may be.
This is a very simple solution to a very complicated and complex issue that seems to have political feelings of its own. Not having an election on a holiday Monday would take all of those little issues and put them aside.
Thanks very much.
