Why Vote on Tuesday?

For years, Jacob Soboroff and the team at Why Tuesday have been hitting the campaign trail to ask candidates from all the major parties a simple question: why do we vote on Tuesday? Our voter participation rates are in the basement, and moving the election from a weekday to the weekends could go a long way towards solving the problem.  

But do you know why we still vote on Tuesday? Check out the video for the ridiciulously outdated answer. It will make you laugh, cry, and get angry all at once about how absurd the way we vote is in the United States, supposedly the world's most famous democracy.
