Lawmakers urged easier voting through extended days
Washington commentator David Lawrence argues turnout misleads and many fail to vote due to inconvenience. He proposes multi day voting, extended registration, alphabet based polling days, and better facilities to reduce crowds. He cites Gallup data and notes 48 million of 100 million eligible voters cast ballots in recent elections. A 1958 note adds Tulsa contest winner Mrs. Leland B. McCoy receives $21 savings prize as bank rediscovered prize.
