Make Election Day a state holiday, column argues
Los Angeles Times columnist LZ Granderson argues that Democrats should push to declare election day a state holiday to boost turnout. He notes only Hawaii Illinois and New York have such holidays among states with Democratic control and cites Arizona Louisiana Florida and West Virginia as examples of election day observances in red or mixed states. He urges state level action to protect voting access and says federal reform may be slow.
