Because the races are close and both candidates have access to the same technology, which also drives them closer, they attack the process. It can be difficult to get on the list of eligible voters; different places count different things as a proper ID. If you are poor or marginalized in other ways, getting a proper ID can be a challenge. The US has a long history of trying to prevent substantial populations from voting; it’s even designed into the Constitution. Just this week, the Supreme Court ruled that votes in Pennsylvania that don’t have the date written on them (properly) but were mailed in don’t have to be counted. That has nothing to do with the intent of the voter, but political factions think it affects their chances one way or the other. In some states, you can’t give water to people while they wait in line to vote.
