I think it should be more of a popular vote. Since current trends allegedly point to increasing urbanization it only seems democratic to give the majority more power than the minority. I think there should be runoff elections in instances where there is a lack of majority support. Also, if president's day is a national holiday, election day should be a national holiday. Even though i know many americans only worship dead presidents anyway, it seems like the day that defines democracy should get more respect in our country. Having work off or shortened would also give people one less reason not to vote.
