Switching to Saturday would get the US in trouble with many religions in the US that would absolutely forbid voting on a Saturday. A weekday is much safer.

Having election day be a federal holiday wouldn't hurt.

Why doesn't that happen now? Friday is the Muslim holy day?

Tuesday tends to me no major religion's holy day, and the country was Judeo-Christian at its founding.

Unrestricted mail in voting would solve these problems. WA and OR mail in, no problem.
