Much easier. Automatic registration, mail in ballots, etc etc. More progressive states are much better at this.

But Republicans purged voter rolls, made sure lines were extremely long by under staffing, made it illegal to hand out food and water in lines, making it illegal for felons to vote when felons are intentionally mostly poor and minorities, etc etc etc.

your experiences are not universal. The more marginalized a person is the more likely it will be hard for them to vote.

Restrictions on voting were put in place in many places around the country

In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen election in 2020, many state legislatures implemented new laws restricting voter accessibility in key parts of the voting process.

Passed in more than half of U.S. states, the laws are often part of sweeping bills that targeted multiple parts of the process, including absentee voting, early voting, and Election Day voting. They mostly come from Republican-led legislatures.

How much easier can we make it?

Much. Automated voter registration, national holiday to give everyone a time outside of work to vote, national mail-in voting, penalty fee for those who didn't vote (like Australia, something small like $5), change from FPTP to a STAR or Ranked or Approval Voting system, better information sent to each voter about the running candidates, ect

We could make it that easy in every state instead of just yours.

To vote in Texas:

1. Make an appointment at the Department of Public Safety. The wait time is 4 months, and the appointment has to be at least one month before the election.
2. Have all your paperwork in order on the first try. Note that the paperwork required may have changed between the time you made the appointment and the date itself.
3. Get a few hours off of work on election day. Companies are not required to give you that time.
4. Wait in line, in the worst case over two hours
5. Vote
