Probably the best way to get more people to vote is to tell them they can't.
No, the libertarians would still lose because 99% of them have not even half a clue about how politics work. Their problem isnt voter turnout, it is
-the inability to get across a message that doesnt anger or frighten the entire electorate to some extent
-realizing the difference between what they want and what is possible politically
-inability to form coalitions with people they may partly disagree with- they are hardcore political purists
I voted yes because I think that it is a hassle for most productive people to take time out of their day to vote.

Election day and the day federal taxes must be filed should be the same exact day.
That is easily the most moronic thing I've read all week. Following the Constitution frightens people?
I work over an hour from where I am supposed to vote.
My wife works for the government too - in the Elections Office. If Election Day was a federal holiday, my wife and every other hourly employee in Elections Offices across the nation would be drawing premium wages for working it. And you and I would foot the bill
I hope your "moronic thing I've read" comment was directed at the idea, not at LawBot for posting it. Simple fact is, yes, following the Constitution terrifies a plurality, if not a majority, of the good people of this country. The fear may be moronic, but there's nothing moronic about pointing it out.
High Plains,
My apologies to you - I missed that opening crack about 99 percent of Libertarians
