> More people would vote if Election Day were a holiday.

That's the premise. Do we know it's true?

If people are going to work, they're at least mobile that day. Give people a free day off and some percentage won't even put pants on that day.

There should be enough companies that already give a holiday for election day that the numbers on how it affects voter turnout should be available. But I didn't see that anywhere on the page.

My gut says that giving paid time to vote, rather than the whole day off, would be better for turnout. But that's just a guess. Show me the numbers.
