For an entire year? You can't scrape together $20 and find a free afternoon once or twice in a decade? What percentage of the non homeless population actually lives this way and actually lives too far from a DMV?

$20 + the lost wages spent traveling to the DMV, filling out the necessary paperwork, waiting in line, having your application processed, then traveling back is actually a lot of money for some people. And the above is just the best case, delays can happen because the applicant forgot to bring in some kind of evidence or another, which usually ends up meaning the entire afternoon is effectively wasted.

What percentage is small enough for you to consider it “not voter suppression”?
