Let’s Move Election Day

CNN’s Roland Martin thinks that elections should be held on Saturdays, not Tuesdays. He thinks that would increase turnout.

I have a better idea. Move Election Day to Tax Day — April 15. We can decide who gets to spend our money while our tax bills are still fresh in our minds. Politicians would have less incentive to come up with grandiose schemes for spending other peoples’ money.

Besides, I’ve always thought it borderline suspicious that elections are held at the opposite end of the calendar from when we pay our taxes.
