    As someone who lived in countries where it’s actually difficult to get administrative tasks done, dropping into the DMV on a whim is not difficult by any measure.

    I do care because it seems you choose to do tasks the hard way when there are actually easier routes to accomplish the same thing?

    I would argue that having an early voting period spanning over several days is more effective than a single national holiday to enable more people to participate. ​As of August 2024, 47 U.S. states, along with the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, offer early in-person voting to all voters.
