“as a mandate to make voting easier and more accessible.”

If it was any “easier and more accessible,” they’d issue you a voter registration ID the day you are born and pre-vote you Democrat for every election in your upcoming lifetime.

Does anybody ask “WHY” voting should be easy and accessible?

What the hell was difficult about 1) registering in advance and 2) showing up on Election Day? I don’t ever remember that being difficult or inaccessible. Our polling places were always at local schools, fire houses, churches (and occasionally a neighbor’s garage!) a short distance away. On a 1-10 difficulty scale (1 easy, 10 hard), I’d rank my 50 years of voting a solid 1 or 2. When I was traveling a lot for business, I’d apply for an Absentee Ballot and use that. Again, easy as can be.

Shouldn’t voting should be somewhat difficult to ensure integrity? (silly me)

This “easier and more accessible” argument is a red herring.

Don’t disagree. But voting needs to be looked at from a mobile
society concept to some extent. Not sure of how it should be done,
but mobility is a concept that needs to be considered for those
that aren’t at home on election day.
