At least according to Ben Ginsberg, the single most prominent Republican election lawyer in the country,
"Trump has enlisted a compliant Republican Party in this shameful effort. The Trump campaign and Republican entities engaged in more than 40 voting and ballot court cases around the country this year. In exactly none — zero — are they trying to make it easier for citizens to vote. In many, they are seeking to erect barriers.
All of the suits include the mythical fraud claim. Many are efforts to disqualify absentee ballots, which have surged in the pandemic. The grounds range from supposedly inadequate signature matches to burdensome witness requirements. Others concern excluding absentee ballots postmarked on Election Day but received later, as permitted under state deadlines. Voter-convenience devices such as drop boxes and curbside voting have been attacked...."
"...This attempted disenfranchisement of voters cannot be justified by the unproven Republican dogma about widespread fraud. Challenging voters at the polls or disputing the legitimacy of mail-in ballots isn't about fraud. Rather than producing conservative policies that appeal to suburban women, young voters or racial minorities, Republicans are trying to exclude their votes."

How much easier should it get? Should we get the lazy people who can't even get their own food, uber eats to pick up their ballot? Perhaps they can vote by Xbox.
I wonder how much pissing and moaning people were doing back before cars. I'm pretty sure just the energy it takes to saddle up a horse to vote, is less than what is needed today.
They cared more about their vote than their inconvenience - because it's worth it. People that don't think their time during one day is worth it, probably shouldn't have a voice - how much can they really care?
So then the military members, and in many cases their families, who are overseas should not have their vote counted? These are counted after the polls close like other absentee / mail in votes. It's not a new thing either been going on since the civil war. Cannot claim to be supportive of the military and deny them one of the basic rights.
Federal law also allows up to five weeks for the counting of ballots to ensure that ALL ballots are counted.
