Members of Donald Trump‘s inner circle are signaling the new administration could implement a massive election overhaul that would cement protections Republicans have been demanding since 2020.
The biggest change – making Election Day a national holiday where employers are mandated to give their workers paid time off to cast their ballot.
Vivek Ramaswamy, a former 2024 Republican candidate now on the short list for an administration position, said making federal elections on a single day would help restore voter confidence in U.S. elections.
He also claimed that paper ballots over machines and requirements of government issued ID to match the voter file would be a good place to start to overhaul the system.
Meanwhile, podcaster Joe Rogan, who now almost certainly has a direct line to president-elect Trump, also agrees with making it a holiday.
Democrats will do all they can to stop making the voting system less vulnerable.
