U.S. Rep: Why Vote Tuesday?
Loading...
Uploaded by WhyTuesday on Jul 17, 2008
U.S. Representative Steve Israel (D-NY) sits down with Jacob Soboroff of Why Tuesday? in Washington, D.C., and becomes the first member of Congress to report as a Why Tuesday? correspondent!
Rep. Israel recently introduced the Weekend Voting Act into the House in an attempt to move election day from "the Tuesday after the first Monday in November," as it has been since 1845, to Saturday and Sunday.
Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) introduced the same bill into the Senate earlier this year.

I am so glad that we are open to change. I was a lifetime republican and now I am for Obama. Regardless, changing the date to the weekend is Encredible. I like the two day weekend option.

People used to devote 3 full days to voting (Monday and Wednesday for traveling); how sad is it now that people complain if they have to wait in line for an hour.
