Let's also be reasonable here.
The reason that the Americans vote on a Tuesday was so that (back in the day) farmers and their kin-folk could ride the ol' ox wagon into town to vote. Some folks had to leave home a day prior, so Monday wasn't practical. And Sunday is the Lord's.
Slow forward to this day, they refuse to see the impracticality of this system in the modern world. To change it is to kill a tradition, even if it is a stupid one.
