  • Summary

  • Ever wondered why Americans head to the polls on a Tuesday in November? This date isn’t random; it’s a tradition rooted in the everyday realities of early 19th-century America, where agriculture shaped not only the economy but also community life. Choosing the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November was an intentional decision, one that accommodated the needs of a largely rural, agrarian society, making it possible for as many citizens as possible to vote.
