Senate Unanimously Approves a Bill to Make Juneteenth a Public Holiday

I've never met someone that wanted to vote but couldn't for some reason. Does this actually happen to anyone in reality?

This may be a case of preemptive optimization.

Entire counties can get their voting stations reduced to a few places that are super inconvenient for the parts of the county that won’t vote the way the people in control of the voting locations would prefer. Mail vote is a patch for this exploit, not an optimization.

Maybe your friends and family aren't the ones being targeted?

Well that is certainly true. I seriously doubt anyone is being "targeted" however. Were you unable to vote for some reason?
