Voting is a right that protects other rights, which is why is shouldn't be made harder, ever.

Yes, we need early voting and excuse free absentee.

And those voter information booklets that other states send out.

I'd go as far and make it a holiday so everything except polling places are shut down

Problem with that is it only really serves public sector employees, banks, schools, and the limited fee that actually have off for holidays. Doesn’t help the majority of private sector service workers.

Ideally yes, i’m all for it, but good luck forcing Walmart and the Amazon warehouse to let their workers off.
