This framing concedes a lot of ground to the folks who seek to make voting more difficult. Where rights are concerned, America typically errs on the side of potentially allowing an illegal action, with the threat of our notorious criminal justice system as the deterrent. For example, we are willing to allow people to carry (without a license) long guns into grocery stores and restaurants under the presumption that they will act responsibly. We don't mandate speed regulators on vehicles. We let people pay bills with checks. Wall Street polices itself. We allow a lot of conduct that could lead to crimes. We aren't in the pre-crime business in America. So to reframe: voting is not a lesser right than being able to carry an unlicensed rifle into a restaurant (which is legal in large parts of America). Let people vote by mail, punish them if they commit voter fraud. The burden is on those who seek to restrict voting to show why voting by mail warrants a much higher level of advance scrutiny than other areas of civil regulation.
