Some ideas of why Tuesday is used for voting some say its payday in some government workers and some say Tuesday means "Two day" means pick between two but what if three are on the ballot then does such day a new on The Roman Calendar as Threeday as the Beatles song of Eight days a week then we would all have to buy back leap year or go to Venus or Mars so where did Thursday come from let's look at Halloween a night of All Saints so it's the only time in Political process that all seeking office are SAINT'S for the lie read the following folk lord;
1845, before Florida, California, and Texas were states or slavery had been abolished, Congress needed to pick a time for Americans to vote. We were an agrarian society. We traveled by horse and buggy. Farmers needed a day to get to the county seat, a day to vote, and a day to get back, without interfering with the three days of worship. So that left Tuesday and Wednesday, but Wednesday was market day. So, Tuesday it was. In 1875 Congress extended the Tuesday date for national House elections and in 1914 for federal Senate elections.
Today, we are an urban society, and we all know how hard it is to commute to our jobs, take care of the children, and get our work done, let alone stand on lines to vote. Indeed, Census data over the last decade clearly indicates that the inconvenience of voting is the primary reason Americans are not participating in our elections.
