Let's make voting family friendly!

Voting needs to be more family friendly. Families have responsibilities and obligations. They sometimes work multiple shifts and have to worry about watching young children.

In particular, single parents (often widows and widowers) are sometimes solely responsible for watching young children and can have difficulty finding the time between working and caring for their children to get to the polls while they're open.

Early voting or mail in balloting are family friendly ways of voting. Who could be against that? Surely we want families to vote!
