It's in our Constitution. We vote for President and, in general, Congressmen on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November every four years. There's no particular reason for it anymore...the historical justifications have been described above. There's really no reason to change it, do you think?
Plus, some states are allowing "early voting", but I don't know much about it, other than you can cast your vote days before the actual Election Day.
