Mississippi:
During the 2004 election, I requested an extended lunch period (or time off)to vote (a total of 2 hours. The maximum extended period allowed by my company). Because the lines were exceptionally long at the polling places, the actual time required for me to vote was 2.5 hours. I explained this to my employer, but I was written up for a late return from lunch and told that they were not required to give any time off for me to vote.
I work in the state of Mississippi, but the corporate headquarters for my company is located in California. I understand that the California law mandates 2-4 hours paid time off to vote, but the State Law of Mississippi is silent on this issue. I need to know which state applies to my case.
Thank you.
