A feature of current voting patterns because it takes place on a work day is that voting is dominated by 50+ people. The voice of those who are paid hourly or without flexible work schedules is not heard very proportionately. It's not that different from a poll tax or reading test or similar barriers to voting - those who care the most in order to spend time/money get to vote - are those reasonable as well?

As someone who is over 50, I feel the current system is stupid. I vote from home using a mail in ballot but the ballot is several pages, often six pages long, and takes me an hour to fill out while I do research online, so someone doing it in person has to make a lot of time before or after work (polling places near their home).
