I don't think that in person voting with ID is a fool proof way to guarantee that only the people who "should be voting" get to vote.

I also think you disenfranchise too many people when you do that.

- People who work on oil rigs won't get to vote

- People who do shift work covering the hours the polls are open wont get to vote

- People who are of sound mind, but too unwell to travel to a polling location wont get to vote

- November is Red/blue king crab season in Alaska, guess those people don't get to vote

- Flight attendants & pilots might be away from home that day.

- People in the military might be on exercise that day, we're cutting them off (though I'll assume deployed service members will get to vote wherever they are)

- Long haul truckers are out of luck

- Anyone on vacation is missing their chance

- College students are always a wildcard, do they cast a ballot where they are (ID could be from a different state) or go home for the weekend?

I personally couldn't care less as long as they only vote once.

Nearly everything you said is solved with the roll out of early voting for nearly a whole month or more prior to the actual election say.

Also, all rights come with responsibilities, and part of the responsibility of voting is registering to vote, getting your ID, and showing up to vote. We shouldn't bend society to let people who don't want bare minimum responsibility to participate in their right.

We have no problem putting serious restrictions on rights of people in other areas coinciding with responsibility.
