Election Day 160 Years Old

NewMexiKen advises us that the current uniform date of the Presidental election dates to the 1848 Presidental Election. Ironically, while the date is offically uniform, most Coloradans don't vote on election day.

I think that voting rates will improve as we settle into mostly mail-in ballots.
Looking forward, it is clear that we will have interent-enabled voting.
As long as the precinct captain buys me whiskey at the tavern, I will be happy.
