I submitted work leave for next Wednesday, so i'm ready to stay all night on Tuesday and watch CNN, just like i did in 2016.  

Thank the lord for choosing Wednesday as my default day off at work, I already was very happy with that choice (2x2 aaaaand it's weekend) but now even more!

Well my company agreed right away. They are pretty much forcing me to take vacation days, because with the ones for next year i will have over 50 paid days to take.

Why does the election have to be in the middle of the week though? (Or is it like that everywhere else except here? I have no idea )

Here’s a pretty good non-partisan explanation from Georgetown University.

On the same subject - the reason why UK elections are always held on Thursday.

 

"Since 1918 a General Election has always been on a Thursday, except for 1918, 1922, 1924 and 1931. The reason for choosing Thursday, it is said, was as follows. On Fridays the voters were paid their wages and if they went for a drink in a pub they would be subject to pressure from the Conservative brewing interests, while on Sundays they would be subject to influence by Free Church ministers who were generally Liberal in persuasion. Therefore choose the day furthest from influence by either publicans or Free Church clergymen, namely Thursday.

And Trump will because he's known to have no good connections with China and Russia at all?

With Rusia may be haha but he is hostile with China, only with that is better than "Chamberlain" Biden

It's not unusual though a lot of countries do have it in the weekend. It's usually Tuesday or Wednesday in Denmark as well.
