Why Tuesday?

From the streets around the Capitol to its elevators and under its dome, no one was safe from Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) and his personal video camera Wednesday afternoon.

The Long Island congressman had a mission: to find out if people know why Election Day is always held on a Tuesday.

Israel is the sponsor of a House bill that would move elections to the weekend, when supporters of the resolution say more of the electorate would participate. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) proposed a similar bill in the Senate earlier this year.
