BIG Holiday Thread

We watched the CNN New Year's coverage. Based on what I saw, Cooper is dead in a hotel room within the year.

That guy is super depressed, and not hiding it well.

Maybe he is single again and viewers can watch a budding romance between him and Lemon.

Ohio city to stop observing Columbus Day, make Election Day holiday instead

Officials in the city of Sandusky, Ohio, have decided that the city will no longer observe Columbus Day as a holiday, switching it for Election Day.

City commissioners made the change at a recent meeting, according to the Sandusky Register.

The new rule, which takes effect this year, will give workers in all municipal offices the day off on Election Day, typically the first Tuesday in November.

“What better way to celebrate the value of our employees and citizens than by removing barriers for them to participate in the greatest of American innovations, our democracy,” the city government wrote on Facebook.

City Manager Eric Wobser told the Sandusky Register that the swap is to encourage city employees to vote, as well as in response to the controversies surrounding Columbus Day.

A number of cities have stopped observing Columbus Day or begun marking “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” instead, citing Christopher Columbus and other European explorers’ treatment of Native Americans.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has advocated for making the change nationally. And a November survey from Hill.TV and HarrisX polling company found that a majority of respondents favor making Election Day a federal holiday.

Makes sense to give people the day off to vote, I guess. I’m not opposed.

Just make an election week with 18 hour poll stations every day and alternating start times.

Put all the voters of the district in a big field. The last one to remain standing gets to represent the rest.

So glad it meets your dumb shit approval. One does not need an entire day to vote. Unless it's you still trying to figure out how a primary election works.

Dems think they're going to make big gains from election holidays.
They apparently believe that the majority of employed, hard-working, tax payers are Dems.

Yeah, that could turn out really bad over time. Just like far too many people don't understand why they get Memorial Day or Independence Day off. They just know it's time to head to the beach and party.
