We should add February 29-53 and remove 3 days from the other months.

The olympics don’t take only one day, the paralympics are also a thing, as are the winter olympics. The olympics that happen on leap years are the summer olympics and February isn’t in summer.
Early voting takes longer than a day.
And February 29 doesn’t happen on years ending in 00 unless the year ends in 000.

To add to this, weather conditions on November 5 are likely to be more temperate than February 29. November 5 can definitely still have bad weather, but you would be making in-person voting overall objectively statistically more difficult by pushing it into the end of February thanks to snow, where November doesn’t even crack the top 5 months for the most snowfall (and we’re talking early November here).
