Dear John,
Advocating for a One Day, Paper Ballot, Hand Count, Voter ID, and In-Person Election Begins with Passing a Federal Law that Makes Election Day a National Holiday.
The latest Pew survey reveals a notable consensus among Americans in favor of making Election Day a national holiday, garnering bipartisan support.
Americans increasingly support designating Election Day as a national holiday, with approval rising from 65% in 2018 to 72% today.
The bipartisan trend reveals 88% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans favoring this proposal, indicating a growing consensus.
In addition, widespread bipartisan support is evident in critical election policies, with 82% favoring paper ballot backups for electronic voting machines and 81% supporting the requirement for government-issued photo identification at the polls.
Advocating for a comprehensive electoral reform package, including a federal law that designates Election Day as a national holiday, is a crucial step towards safeguarding the core tenets of our Republic. By championing the principles of a one-day, paper ballot, hand count, voter ID, and in-person election, we embark on a journey to fortify the democratic process in the United States. This multifaceted approach addresses key aspects of electoral integrity, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and accessibility.
Making Election Day a national holiday is a pivotal component of this reform, aimed at eliminating barriers that may hinder citizens from exercising their right to vote. By guaranteeing every American the freedom to travel to the polls without fear of repercussions at their workplace or loss of income, we pave the way for a more inclusive and participatory election.
Act for America's SECURE OUR ELECTIONS Initiative saw an impactful surge, totaling over 20.4 million actions in 2023. A pivotal step toward restoring Constitutional elections lies in establishing election day as a national holiday.
