US election day falls on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November because of an 1845 law written around horses and harvests: Sunday was for church, market day was Wednesday, and a farmer needed a day to travel each way. The date has outlived every reason for it. This word puzzle gathers what happens on it, from the POLLING place and the BALLOT to the TURNOUT figure argued over that night.
