Which is more important tradition or results?

I am a chronic flipper with the television remote If you flip through any of the talk shows (doesn’t matter; CNN, Fox, CSpan, local shows) there often comes a discussion regarding the dismal voter turn out and general apathy with elections.

It is disappointing that that voter turn out is lower than it should be.

The US should be a country that leads by high voter turn out -- demonstrating that we value free elections and recognize that a high price has been paid for this freedom has to be earned with the sacrifices of many.

Why are we the only democracy that holds elections during the work week? What’s wrong with a concept of a National Election weekend (maybe held on a Saturday and Sunday of the weekend before the current election Tuesday?).

I know, I know – It’s a band aid. If you’re upset by the concept it’s because you (like me, by the way) make it to the polls every time and feel others should be able to as well.


Wouldn’t it send a positive message at home that we want everyone citizen to participate?
Wouldn’t it send a positive message to the world if we had a higher voter turn out?
