Happy Election Day!

Did you vote?

Maybe you didn't, because you've got kids and one of them got sick.

And you were late for work.

And your boss was pissed.

And then you had to leave anyway to take your kid to the doctor.

Say aww.

And then you had to catch up with all of your work when you got home.

And then you passed out, and you woke up early to the results and felt really guilty

and like you let your democracy down.

If you felt that way, you wouldn't be alone.

The last time we had midterms in this country, only about 36% of the country voted.

Which has left me thinking this whole campaign season, why isn't Election Day a holiday?

It would just make voting so much easier for so many people.

Just look at Australia.
