Holes are just lack of electrons, but electrons in motion still carry the current. Holes weren't really discussed until solid state electronics as far as I can remember. But I'm only 67.
Holes do move in the opposite direction from electrons, and electrons move from negative to positive. O'le Ben Franklin didn't know about electrons and he picked positive and negative some 250 years ago, wrong.
Holes are the predominant current in a metal lattice that's short on electrons to fill the outer orbits. Electrons are the predominant current in a metal lattice that has a surplus of electrons.
Calculations work for both holes (positive particles assumed by Franklin) and electrons, just can be confusing to those with inadequate backgrounds trying to understand electron tubes and semiconductors.
Ohms law and other electrical circuit laws apply to either selected current flow and any location for the ground in a circuit, if any.
Tractors run with positive or negative ground so long as all the accessories are set for the same polarity when they are polarity sensitive like and alternator, a radio, a planter monitor, or a JD gas gauge. Coils have a preferred polarity for better spark at the plug, not hard to adjust the coil primary connections for that.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
