WoodmenLife Tower is Lighting Red, White and Blue for Election Day

Omaha, Nebr. – Tonight the WoodmenLife Tower will be red, white and blue to mark Election Day.

Let’s review a few quick facts about this extremely patriotic holiday, brought to us by ConstitutionCenter.org:

• Election Day wasn’t a fixed day until 1845, when Congress stepped in to say it should be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
• Weather and farming helped dictate when elections were held.
• The first lever election voting machine was patented in 1889 but took decades to be widely used. It was phased out by 2010 in the U.S.

WoodmenLife will share this on social media with the hashtags #ElectionDay and #LightWoodmenLifeTower.
