Many people already do get the option to ditch out of work to go vote. And it's not logistically possible for _everyone_ to have the day off. So really this is just a matter of sliding the scale a bit so _more_ people can vote; at the cost of more inconvenience.

Personally, I'd rather just make mail-in voting more common.

I love mail in voting, but it does run the unique risk of having verifiable votes to third parties, which means it allows pay-for-votes.

No election can mitigate this so long as your vote is provable to a third party.
