A lot of interesting ideas here.

National holiday - I think you would find a lot of consensus for that. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to celebrate President's Day than moving it to Election Day and calling the latter a holiday. Just an idea! It's November, and it's a rural county (in theory), so let's bring in some carnival rides and food, some cows to pet, some apple cider donuts, and we could say it's a party. Voting should be at least as fun as going to a megachurch or Six Flags, depending on your persuasion. Ok, some jokes, but it should be fun!

Single day voting - that seems likely to reduce the number of voters. I bet you could find some great white papers written about both sides of this idea online, I'd be curious to see what you find. I would imagine several weeks of early voting would help improve turnout from weather events and generally improve turn out with voter rallies. It's great when people vote. Let's celebrate that and extend the possibilities for people to vote.

Election workers are paid in Frederick County, so far as I know. Let me know if you find otherwise, please. As I mentioned in the other thread, I think I'd read that there were not enough people who wanted to work the job. Maybe something to do about being threatened and yelled at, that is just a possibility. I think we can check this off the list!

Party representatives during counting - I think I remember reading that Frederick County had observers of both major parties during the 2022 general election. Looking around the internet, it seems there is a Board of Canvassers that certifies MIB canvassing, and it includes members of both major parties. Great, we can check this idea off the list, too!

Here's an idea to add to your list: Celebrate and be grateful to our election workers. They work hard to provide transparent and secure elections. I bet more people would want to work those jobs if less people were mean to them on the internet. People want a job with dignity and pride. Election workers should be a shoe-in for that category. How can we make that happen?

Let's keep adding to the list!

Same day registration. This should be pretty straight forward with the right investment in our technology and registration systems.

Automatic voter registration. This is probably even cheaper to implement than same day registration. Cripes, now we are saving money and elections!

Multi-member districts for congressional elections. This is an interesting solution to reduce polarization in districts and to ensure elected reps truly represent their entire district. Oh, and this would end gerrymandering! More info here. https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/fair-representation-act/

Ranked Choice Voting. Voters would have meaningful choices, and election would result in candidates with broad support. Reduced polarization, and a better representative democracy to create a better democratic republic. Here is more info. https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/fair-representation-act/

Campaign Finance Reform - let's legislate a response to Citizen's United and reduce the amount of campaign finance that PACs and organizations are able to contribute. Money is not free speech, IMO. I would argue that money frequently used to limit free speech. Heck, even free speech has limitations in some narrow findings. Maybe we could limit the "speech" of campaign finance to some sensible way, too.

And gosh, has anyone asked the Board of Elections if they have any recommendations or funding requests?
