Because in olden days it was difficult for farmers and thier families to make it to a voting booth if it was still harvest season. So, the lawmakers assumed that if it is in at least a few days into November, it would be easier on farmers.
Yes, the first Tuesday in November could fall before the first Monday in November if November 1st is a Tuesday. That would mean the first Monday in November would be Novebmer 8th, and voting day would be November 9th.
