4. Why not make it a three day weekend? My hubby suggested Veteran's Day
And have the polls open from midnight Friday to midnight Monday. With the final day on Veteran's Day, candidates could appeal to everybody's patriotism to get the heck out and vote.

While the county I live in had an 84.89% turn out, one county here in Florida only had a 38% turn out. Appalling numbers IMO.
