Accessibility for everyone should be a primary concern of the government, wether it be state or federal. You are spot on with creating barriers of entry. They don't want the homeless or extremely impoverished voting. Otherwise why would it be so complex? It has no true need to be. Any system made up by humans that is so convoluted even the employees have issues is designed to create barriers not enable access.
"..Accessibility for everyone should be a primary concern of the government.."
Totally agree.
But I also think that there is no reason to assume that the Government has any incentive whatsoever to care for people's welfare.
