    I know you didn’t design it, or come up with that “reasoning”. To me it sounds like it is just some excuse to have votes on a working day to disadvantage working class people from voting.

      I know it sounds like that but it’s been like this for hundreds of years. It’s just a holdover, it made sense back then.

      The problem with conspiracy theorists is sometimes they don’t know when to stop. Sometimes there isn’t actually a evil sadistic reason, it’s just a thing.

      Anyway the polls are open for like 10 hours. Somewhere in there you’re going to find an opportunity to vote. I mean I didn’t vote in the last local elections until about 6:00 p.m.
