Get-out-the-vote and voter suppression are not equally legitimate political tactics

No. “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.”

I think there’s value in making the vote require some effort, some small sacrifice – something that never places it out of reach, but puts a price on it. Not a price paid vicariously, either; a personal price – time to stand in line at the polls, time to Xerox your license and mail it in, whatever. I don’t view these measures as inherently wrong.
