    Ron Paul? I thought it was Ru Paul running for the Republican nomination.

    I am all for that, quite a few people don't have the ability to get out of work during reg. voting hours or have to wait in long lines once they do get there.

    I doubt they would make election day a federal holiday since there are already two in the month of November. An idea I heard Dan Rather suggest back in 2000 was that polls would open at 6:00 AM EST and would stay open until 6:00 AM EST the next day. That way, no matter what shift you work, there would be time to make it to the polls.

    Hahaha!! Have you seen the little old ladies that run the polls? They ain't gonna be hangin' out at 3 a.m. so that people can vote. Little old ladies rule the world I've decided.
