"Could they vote before or after work? I suppose they could if they do not have to pick up their kids from sports...or do something for the family..."
This is something we could all do, demand that our schools do not schedule 'after school' activities on Election Day. Teachers should make their assignments centered around the elections (i.e. math teachers could use the local vote totals at a certain time during the evening, geography/history could use national elections, etc.) WE all need to help educate, so that perhaps we can turn things around. To late for this year, but schools are already working on future years calendars.....
How about business owners offering a discount (one day only) when you show that you voted. (coupons could be provided at voting sites) This way people can at least feel their vote counted in their pocket book, if no where else ;-)
It still amazes me how many people do not understand the election procedure. I've had grown people think that once you register for one party - you have to vote that party. They say they just look for the D, R, I after a name and vote - never looking at the name or office. So sad.
