Why doesn't the US officially move election day to a weekend so that people don't have to take off from work to go to the polls? Or make it a federal holiday to celebrate our right to vote and enable more people to exercise that right? I never even considered the school safety issue, but that seems like one more good reason that we need to re-evaluate our current voting tradition.
