Ummm. What employer is going to close for the Election Day Holiday?
Actually many would. Many companies will also give their employees a pick of national holidays to take off if they do not offer all of them, so a person could pick that one in that case. It would encourage more people to vote. I'm not sure how many more, but it would do that. Also, by making it a national holiday, it puts voting more on the minds of people, and that in and of itself would lead to more voting. More voting hurts Republicans.
1) "Actually many would." No they wouldn't. You've never run a business before, have you?
2) "Many companies will also give their employees a pick of national holidays to take off if they do not offer all of them, so a person could pick that one in that case." Needless. Just to vote? Polls are open early and close late. Most states offer early voting. People can vote absentee.
3) "It would encourage more people to vote. I'm not sure how many more, but it would do that." I'd wager more people would take the time off and not vote than would vote.
4) "Also, by making it a national holiday, it puts voting more on the minds of people, and that in and of itself would lead to more voting. " - Proof?
5) "More voting hurts Republicans." - Sure. If that is the intended goal of an national holiday on election day, then Democrats should go for it.

That's such a weird phrase. Salt of the Earth will render the land barren, utterly destroying the land's ability to grow anything edible. Enough Salt of the Earth and you'll get mass starvation. Cover the planet with Salt of the Earth and you will cause the extinction of the human species.
So how is Salt of the Earth a good thing?

See. In MOST states you have to vote ON election day. Most people just can't make it on that day to vote. That is voter suppression and we should have a national holiday so businesses close so people can vote.

Matthew 5:12-13 12
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. You are the salt of the earth.
Salt of the Earth: an individual or group considered as representative of the best or noblest elements of society.

I assume you are referring to Flagpole's quote:
"Many companies will also give their employees a pick of national holidays to take off if they do not offer all of them, so a person could pick that one in that case."
In that case, you would be CORRECT that "Many workers DO NOT get to pick their days off."

Thank you for agreeing. Many workers DO NOT get to pick their days off, and many have to work on Tuesday--meaning they cannot take election day off from work.
Um....
Key quote...this leak was by a Defense Attorney of one of Trump's close associates. It was not hacked...
"Mueller's office said in a court filing that the FBI had determined their computers had not been hacked. Instead, they said documents posted illegitimately on the web had been provided to one of the defendants in the case, Concord Management and Consulting, LLC."

Neither are you:
1) "Many" is irrelevant. We don't know if ANY businesses would close.
3) You assume that "more people would vote." We have not way of knowing if more" people would vote. Perhaps, if it was a national holiday, people would take time off to do personal errands or vacations (nice 4 day weekend). There is a possibility it could lead to LOWER voter turnout.
4) The whole point of putting voting in the minds of people is irrelevant.
5) It does not have to be the intended goal for it to be true. - Did anyone say it was or was not true? Monkeys typing for you?

Trump and his associates didn’t just collude with Russia in 2015-2016, this is evidence of on-going collusion with the Russians. Oh and by collusion I mean—legally speaking—Conspiracy to defraud the United States by working with a foreign government.

You missed the point.
It is hard to vote for may people. In most states you can only vote on election day.
Most people can't make it to vote on that day.
If there was a holiday on election day voter turnout would be sky high.

You are correct. I never said they did.
That was Flagpole who said they could pick their days off.

"See. In MOST states you have to vote ON election day. " is your claim. I stated that "EVERY state allows voting on election day."
Also of interest, many people, a lot of people, do not get national holidays off from work.
