    There are only 160mil valid passports in America right now.

    You are right though that you can be a registrerede voter with no party affiliation, but there are still 50mil eligible voters that haven’t registrered.

    And do you deny that a lot of Americans have a hard time getting off of work to go vote? That making election day a national holiday would not easily make a lot more people participate in the countrys democracy?

      I would argue that having an early voting period spanning over several days is more effective than a single national holiday to enable more people to participate. ​As of August 2024, 47 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, offer early in-person voting to all voters.
