This was a huge problem in Texas last year, but it really points at another problem with these laws. The difficulty largely wasn't even intentional. The requirements for address verification and citizenship verification were far more onerous than they used to be, to the point I saw no less then three people get sent home with nothing when I was at the DMV, but that wasn't even the state's decision. It was a consequence of the Real ID ACT happening at the same time. And office closures made it take months to get an appointment. I was barely able to get in ahead of the election, in mid October, and I made my appointment in April! But that wasn't malicious, either. The office closures were due to Covid, which wasn't planned by the state of Texas. But it points at the ways in which any additional legal hurdle at all can become far more burdensome than lawmakers expect it to even if no one is intentionally trying to make it hard. It's all levels of government plus nature itself all adding new hurdles at the same time.
