    As someone who lived in countries where it’s actually difficult to get administrative tasks done, dropping into the DMV on a whim is not difficult by any measure.

    I do care because it seems you choose to do tasks the hard way when there are actually easier routes to accomplish the same thing?

    I would argue that having an early voting period spanning over several days is more effective than a single national holiday to enable more people to participate. ​As of August 2024, 47 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, offer early in-person voting to all voters.

    I don’t really care what Trump says. Most modern democracies have voter ID laws, that is the sensible thing to do. It is difficult to prove that voter fraud doesn’t happen, are you saying people just haven’t been caught? You shouldn’t be able to vote as someone else just because you know their name and their address.

    Of course, we should also prevent ballot stuffing.
