Voting lines

Thought I'd post this email chain between myself and a co-worker (un-named).

(In reply to an email regarding our company's policy to pay voters for their time spent away from work and in the polling lines.)

Me: lol @ our state not offering it. Also LOL @ most being only 2 hours when people are spending 6-8 hours sometimes in line.

Co-worker: I know

November 4th should just be an official, legal holiday for the entire country. It could replace one of those other holidays that no one cares about. (Like Labor Day, or something.) I see no flaw in my brilliant scheme.

I agree.

Seconded. I was at the polls before they even opened and still waited in line for 45 minutes. I BARELY made it to work but was prepared to say "Sorry I'm late. I'm an American."
