This amendment is an attempt by a certain left-leaning political faction to overcome a perceived shortcoming in its ability to turn out sufficient numbers of like-minded voters. It's a clear attempt to overcome an explicitly-stated provision of the governing foundational document upon which this nation is based. If the founding fathers had wanted the voting date to float, they would not have specified the Tuesday following the first Monday in November.
