voting should be frictionless and not have to go anywhere

it's a constitutional right, not something you should have to jump through hoops

people don't have the time to take off work and not get paid and wait in line for hours which is exactly what many places do now by reducing voting location radically

many people can't even afford a car these days or to fill it with gas

if you insist on in person voting, make it a paid day off

the ID thing is a false narrative, it's not ID that's the problem, it's that it costs money to get the ID and now they want your birth certificate saying the ID doesn't even prove you are a citizen with "realID"
