There are other people pointing out all the pratical reasons why this isn’t the case.

But I like the spirit and vibe of this idea, good shower thought.

The olympics don’t take only one day, the paralympics are also a thing, as are the winter olympics. The olympics that happen on leap years are the summer olympics and February isn’t in summer.

Early voting takes longer than a day, and there are elections other than presidential elections that happen with greater frequency.

And February 29 doesn’t happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.

EDIT: scroll down to see how confidently wrong I was about leap years!

To me the most baffling thing is that it’s not on the weekend in the USA AFAIK, like why the fuck would you have it on say a Tuesday when people need to work, pick up their kids from school etc, you might argue that still some people work on the weekends but that’s a much lesser percentage and makes voting easier for a lot of people and who does have to work, they can mail it in.
