Explain whether the creation of Election Day improved the election process for Americans
kari74 [83]

Many of the millions of Americans voting in Tuesday’s midterm elections will have to do so while working around the demands of their jobs – hitting their polling places before work, taking an extra-long lunch break or going afterward and hoping to make it before the polls close. As they stand in line, many of them may wonder why it is that the United States votes on a Tuesday, of all days. (To be fair, more than 38 million Americans already have voted early in person, by mail or by absentee ballot, according to a tally maintained by University of Florida political scientist Michael McDonald.)

The first law designating Election Day as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November was passed back in 1845. At the time, every state except South Carolina was choosing its presidential electors by popular vote, and had considerable flexibility in deciding when to hold its elections. But as transportation and communications links between the states improved, concern grew that later-voting states could be influenced by the results in earlier-voting ones. (As the Congressional Globe wrote, paraphrasing one congressman’s remarks, “The object of this bill was to guard against frauds in the elections of President and Vice President, by declaring that they shall all be held on the same day.”)

But why November, and why on a Tuesday? As a State Department explainer from 2008 put it, back then the U.S. was a predominantly agrarian society. November made sense because it was after farmers were done with their harvest, but before hard winter weather that could make it difficult for them to get to town to vote. And since traveling by horse over unimproved roads could take a while, lawmakers wanted to avoid making their constituents travel to or from the polls on a Sunday (widely considered a day of rest and worship, not politicking).

The U.S. is one of only nine OECD nations that have weekday voting in the 21st century, however, America’s election schedule makes it an outlier among advanced industrial democracies. A Pew Research Center analysis finds that 27 of the 36 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development hold their national elections on the weekend, while two others (Israel and South Korea) hold elections on weekdays but make those days national holidays so economic hardship won’t be a barrier to electoral participation.

There have been repeated proposals in the U.S. over the years to either move Election Day to the weekend or make it a federal holiday, on the grounds that doing so would boost turnout. A recent Pew Research Center poll found bipartisan majority support for the idea: 71% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents and 59% of Republicans and GOP leaners said they would support making Election Day a national holiday. But while proposals to do that have periodically been introduced in Congress, none have gotten very far.

A handful of states give employees Election Day offElection Day is, however, a paid holiday in 13 states, at least for state employees (though Kentucky state workers only get the day off in presidential-election years); in New Mexico, state workers are allowed two hours of paid administrative leave to vote. Many states require employers to give their workers time off to vote; in some states, such as New York and California, workers can’t be docked any pay for taking time off to vote. And many employers, from outdoor clothing company Patagonia to restaurant chain Cava, have taken it upon themselves to give their workers paid time off to vote this year.

THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Deficiency immune response of cell-mediated predisposes an individual towards active TB.
Alenkasestr [34]

The deficiency immune response of cell-mediated predisposes an individual toward active TB. The grammatical mistakes are corrected by inserting 'the' and changing the plural form of the word 'towards.'

<h3>What are grammatical mistakes?</h3>

Grammatical mistakes are the errors that occur when the sentences have incorrect usage of the articles, nouns, plural-singular forms, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc.

Here the sentence lacks the article "the" at the beginning before the word 'deficiency.' Also, the word, 'towards' is incorrect as it is written in the plural form that should be changed into the singular form 'toward' as the subject should have the same grammatical numbers.

Therefore, 'the' should be inserted at the beginning, and 'towards' should be changed into 'toward.'

What are some tips to help remember adverbs and Adjectives?
Vlad [161]
<span>An adjective and adverb phrase differ in that an adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. To help remember the difference, the word itself has “verb” inside it, and adverbs tend to end in “-ly.” “Slowly,” “loudly,” and “happily” are all adverbs. examples </span>

1. All action verbs can be paired with an adverb. If you do something, you do it well not good. For example: Turtles walk slowly.

2. An adverb can’t modify a noun. The trick here is that not all –ly words are adverbs, some are adjectives too. For example, it’s correct to say the bright table (adjective) or the brightly colored table (compound adjective) but not the brightly table. On the other hand, it is correct to say “the friendly puppy.”

3. Use this simple trick to decide when to use an adverb or an adjective: If the construction works with the verb “to be”, it is correct. For example, the puppy is friendly works because friendly is an adjective.

4. Verbs that describe senses, including feel, seem and appear, require adjectives. For example, don’t feel bad or that sounds good. By using the “to be” test, it’s easy to see that Tim feels bad. (Tim is bad) is correct, but Tim feels badly (Tim is badly) isn’t.

5. Adjectives or predicate adjectives are required by linking verbs that do not describe actions. These adjectives modify and refer back to a noun or pronoun at the beginning of a sentence. Examples include: I feel sick and Julie was anxious.
