Which is a good reason to make each election day (for primaries, caucuses, or the general, for all elections, whether local, state, or federal) a state/federal holiday so that everyone gets the day off to participate in the voting process.
That all said, and more specifically to your comment, the US election system was never intended to be open to everyone.
