There was no restriction of movement on Saturday December 12th, 1959. People went to their offices, but the government appealed to employers to give their staff some time off during the day so that they can go and vote.

In recent times we've always had restriction of movement on election day. This could make it impossible for some people to go to work, church or mosque on that day.

Originalsly: You have your right to vote. Do the Adventists now want to serve two masters? Voting is an option and not a must...the church should focus on what it supposed to be doing and stop meddling with politics.

Sunday should stop being a holiday just like Friday and Saturday are not.

A neutral day like Thursday or even Wednesday should be chosen, if these people's plea wont be considered.

IMHO, they have every right to demand this.

[size=14pt]No Restriction Of Movement.[/size]

Unlike Nigeria where movement is restricted on election day, Americans were on their duty posts without hindrance yesterday.Political advertising was still on the day of the election.

Even campaign rallies were held. Republican Mitt Romney campaigned in Ohio and Pennsylvania, contrary to the situation in Nigeria.

Only public schools were shut as their premises were used as polling units.

There was no human and vehicular restriction in most areas visited in Maryland, Virginia and the nation’s capital, Washington DC.

In Washington DC, workers were at work. Many eligible voters were seen casting their vote as early as 7a.m. and returning to their offices.In most states, voting commenced at 7a.m. and ended at 7p.m.

The only sign of election was the atmosphere at designated polling units.

At polling units visited in Bethesda, Rockville, Germantown, Glenmont all in Maryland, and Mclean, Tyson’s Corner, Lynchburg, Arlington, Alexandria all in Virginia, voters were seen exercising their civic rights in orderliness. There were no cases of violence and ballot snatching.

A member of the Virginia House of Delegates, Banbana Cornstock, told National Mirror that she was proud to cast her vote for her party, the Republican.

My vote is not just for my party but the future of America. Another voter simply identified as Carol, said, This election is about issues, not party affiliation.

Americans need leaders who can change their fortunes. That is why I have voted Mitt Romney,” Babara said.

She also told our correspondent that her lot on President Barack Obama was because Obama had the capacity to move the country forward.

I’m not a politician but I have exercised my voting right today. I came to the polling unit by 7a.m. and by 8a.m.

I am done with the voting. I’m sure Obama will get the mandate of Americans to do another term, she told National Mirror in Germantown, Maryland. Shelby Umetsu, a school teacher in Rockville, Maryland, said she could not wait to see the election over.

It has been a gruelling period, so I can’t wait for the election to be over today.

The election has almost divided Americans. I have voted for my choice based on performance and promises. I hope after today, when the winner emerges, Americans will come together, Umetsu said.

This plea is very valid and presented correctly .

FG should please grant this request.

This would increase the number of voters that would turn out during election.
