| | Election Day (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Election Day is a legal holiday in some states, including Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, New Jersey, New York and Ohio. | | | Most states now hold elections for governors in those even-numbered years when there is not a presidential election, in part to stimulate a higher voter turnout for "off-year" Congressional elections. | | | Article One of the United States Constitution requires that any election for the U.S. President must occur on a single day throughout the country; elections for Congressional offices, however, can be held at different times. |

| | This means that election administrators — typically a county or city clerk — have a daunting task. | | | Because of its federal system, in which both the national government and the state governments have distinct powers, election day in the United States is actually the occasion for a series of simultaneous state and local elections, each held under separate administrative procedures. | | | As a response to problems that arose in the state of Florida's election for the presidency in 2000, Congress passed legislation providing financial assistance to states and counties to adopt the most modern and reliable voting procedures. |

| | Franklin County election officials have said they used the 2000 presidential vote as the basis for allocating voting machines in the 2004 election. | | | Even though Franklin County election officials have their ready defense to deflect charges of intentional voting rights violations, Democratic field organizers said the placement of too-few voting machines at inner city precincts came amid a broader campaign of voter intimidation aimed at Democrats. | | | As the number of voters grew by as much as 50 percent in some precincts, according to pro-Kerry field organizers, the number of voting machines on Election Day shrank by a third. |

| | Already in much of the country, voters no longer have to wait until Election Day to vote. | | | "If you wait until Election Day," Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano told The Washington Post, "you've missed the first half of the vote." Election Day officially occurs on Nov. 2 this year, but as much as 30 percent of the turnout will have occurred before then. | | | The story quoted Meredith Imwalle of the National Association of Secretaries of State: "We're in 2004, and both parents are working. |

Each of those states was declared to be "free and independent" on July 4, 1776. |

| | Or would you rather it was postponed for a month, until the initial shock had passed and the voters had had a chance to consider whether the administration's incompetence and the relative indifference of the GOP Congress to homeland security needs might not have contributed to the disaster? | | | Obviously no one can afford to be casual about the prospect of a postponed election (especially in the American political system, with its oddly inflexible timetables). | | | Suppose that one week before election day, the United States is hit by a major terrorist attack - I mean a really big one, like a dirty bomb on the Washington Mall or a liquified gas tanker exploding in the port of a major American city. |
