Making things more difficult means fewer people will do it. It's foolish to insist that it's all or nothing. It's not about being capable, it's about marginal effects in large groups of people.

That's not the same as "disenfranchised" or "taking voters off the rolls," as it gets talked about (see both of the sibling comments to yours).

If they can't put up some minimal effort, what was their vote worth? I don't think the laziest folks probably vote in good policy.

		Crazy people with extreme views vote in every single election. Sensible moderates with actual lives may decide that it's not worth the effort. I'm not worried about lazy people voting. I'm worried about crazy people voting, and not having enough votes from sensible people to drown them out.
