		Election Day is a legal holiday in some states, including Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, New Jersey, New York and Ohio.

	United States Elections 2004
		The 2000 election also revealed that voting machines are like any other kind of electromechanical device: They have a tolerance for error built into them, but they require regular and periodic maintenance in order to function at their most accurate level.
		The closeness of the election outcome in Florida and the fact that it was the last state to be able to complete its vote count made it a special target of both the Bush and Gore forces in the weeks after election day.
		One of the distinct lessons of the 2000 election was that the election administration, balloting, and vote-counting issues encountered in Florida could have occurred to some degree in almost any jurisdiction in the United States.

	Explananda: Election Day
		A lot of people are in a tizzy about the possibility that the U.S. presidential election might be postponed in the event of a major terrorist attack.
		Suppose that one week before election day, the United States is hit by a major terrorist attack - I mean a really big one, like a dirty bomb on the Washington Mall or a liquified gas tanker exploding in the port of a major American city.
		If your answer is yes, you definitely would want the election to go forward on the scheduled day, terrorist attack or no terrorist attack, then I guess you're entitled to regard any legal tampering as an automatic outrage.

	Election Day Diary – Not a Gay Day by James Ostrowski
		Early on Election Day, my wife Amy and I are in the car and I hear the local radio guy quote Drudge as saying that voting machines in Philadelphia had votes recorded on them before the election started!
		They then "united" to form a limited federal government and naturally chose a form of election that protected their independence and recognized their prior, separate and continuing existences.
		My biggest problem that day was people who think that gay marriage was their biggest problem.

	TomPaine.com - The Perfect Election Day Crime
		Even though Franklin County election officials have their ready defense to deflect charges of intentional voting rights violations, Democratic field organizers said the placement of too-few voting machines at inner city precincts came amid a broader campaign of voter intimidation aimed at Democrats.
		Franklin County election officials have said they used the 2000 presidential vote as the basis for allocating voting machines in the 2004 election.
		They’ve also said that local election boards are bipartisan, so any plan to redistribute voting machines would have been approved by Democrats and Republicans. Common Cause's Arnebeck said that bipartisan explanation makes proving there was an intentional violation difficult.

		Once, Election Day was the most significant communal occasion in American life.
		Leaving their homes and offices, mingling at a public polling place, waiting together in line to cast their votes, Americans were reminded that, whatever their differences, they were all equal members of a political community with an equal say in its governance.
		All of which means that "Election Day" has been reduced to little more than a figure of speech.
