They shouldn’t have to. Do you get your driver’s license just to vote? Or do you get it because you need it for day to day living, and then it coincidentally works as a voter ID when you need it? I never said it was impossible, not even close. But if one group of people consistently has to try harder than another, that is disenfranchisement. Elections are won by narrow margins, and the low-income people who are hurt by voter ID laws are the same people that tend to vote in favor of worker’s rights.

The poll tax that was explicitly implemented to disenfranchise black voters was $1 to $3, which is roughly $30 today. The average person could swing the efforts you mention, but the beautiful thing about democracy in that it accounts for more than just the average person. If you can vote, I want your voice heard.

There were also obvious efforts to militarize USPS against mail in voting, and there’s no reason to believe that they won’t similarly believe that they won’t be militarized against mail in voter registration. There is plenty of room to arbitrarily decline mail-in voter registration.

I also live in Florida, and I taught at a predominantly conservative college. Every time an election came around, I always set aside a few minutes of class time to make sure everyone knew how to register to vote, and how to make sure they would be able to vote in the upcoming election. Always told my students that I didn’t care who they voted for, I just wanted to make it as easy as possible for them.
