What would it take to change the voting day in the US?

Asked by Soubresaut (13714points) July 26th, 2017

More to the point, what (a) change(s) would make it easier for the most people to access the polls, and why? (Or do you not believe there needs to be (a) change(s), and why?)

Would those changes mitigate the impact voter ID laws may have, or that people are concerned voter ID laws may have? From my own experience, one party tends to talk about changing the voting day, and the other party tends to talk about voter ID laws. Could we do both and make everyone happy, while also making every US citizen’s constitutional right to vote as accessible as—or more accessible than—it already is?

If you have articles/studies/etc. to cite, please do share! I love sources.

(I might not respond directly in the thread, but I promise I am reading everything and considering everything, especially any points that challenge/disagree with positions I hold… I worry I come across as one-sided in political issues, so I thought I’d put this disclaimer here…)
