Democracy Sausage ? How about Presidential Pizza !

So before today I was unaware of this Australian idea. That they sell ' Democracy Sausage' a cheap and popular lunch at polling places on Election Day. Not only that - but since the offering are different at individual places people can and do pick a polling place based on social media alerts telling them what's best.

I think we should do something like this with pizza by the slice. It's one of America's favorite foods and can be made relatively cheap and or healthy depending on how it's done.

Right now we literally have people that want to vote that sometimes skip it because it's always on Tuesdays and they fear being late back to work. If we aren't gonna change that bullshit just because it's tradition we could at least ease the burden on working people by giving them an affordable lunch stop.

Hell if we can't get it in as a rule we could at least appeal to food trucks and mobile vendors to go and sell at or across from polling stations.
