3 Reasons for Sunday voting

In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the Tory Vote Mobilizing Machine for the next elections, The Tories are trying to extend elections to two days (Sunday noon-8PM [8:30 Newfoundland] and Election Monday) to increase voter turn out. They've also extended the election hours to just after church services are finished. So after getting pumped up on Jesus, the West Edmonton Christian Assembly can go straight to the polls!

Or, how about this one? OK. In an effort to debilitate former Canadian Alliance leader (Air Farce one-liner) and current Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day's faintest hopes of attaining the PMO, voting starts on Sunday. Everyone remembers that Stephen refused to campaign on Sundays for church/family time. CONJECTURE: Stockwell is making Martinian/ Gordon-Brownian/ Duceppian moves to pull the Conservatives from under Stephen Harper's feet. Just a suggestion, if I ever heard a peep from the Conservative caucus.

Or, Harper is just trying to boost voter turn out through a back-flank attack on the Lord's Day.
