Election Day should be a national holiday.
It's more important to the health of our nation than any other holiday or day of the year. So make it a federal holiday. Businesses would be closed- no one would have to miss work.
While we are at it, make it a giant celebration. Lower the drinking age to 18 so Soldiers can legally get a drink. Keep the bars open all night starting midnight the day of election day. Cities will have fireworks. Frats will have keggers. There will be parades.
Also, why do you have to register? Honestly its just a barrier to keeping the lower classes (and often less enthused) from voting. If you can show ID in any form that shows you are a citizen (SS Card, Drivers License, Birth Certificate, Green Card), then you should be able to vote. Why add the extra steps????

If this country elected a Bush three times, I really don't think we need to have a situation that encourages drinking and voting. In fact, I call for no alcohol or mullets for the two days leading up to presidential elections.
