McConnell says bill that would make Election Day a federal holiday is a ‘power grab’

Not true everywhere. Virginia, with one of the largest populations of federal employees, does not have no-excuse absentee voting. So unless you are going to be out of town on Election Day, or working for 12+ continuous hours, or other things like that, then you can not vote early.
