This is so weird to be watching from over here (Norway). If a politician suggested in any way to make voting even slightly hard or difficult for anyone, he or she would be politically dead for ever!
The most important part of an election is to get people to vote no matter where or who they are. Our politicians campaign in prisons because it's often hard to get the inmates to care enough to vote!
We can cast our vote from two months before the actual election day, there are public (and private) services bringing elderly and disabled people to polling stations for free...
Even the most cynical politician recognize that our entire existence as a democracy depends on the individual's ability to vote.
That goes for every democracy. A lot of Americans seems to have forgot that little detail.
Some people are figuring out that in order to properly evaluate reality they might have to interpret people's actions instead of taking their word for it.

In April Biden also said trump would try delay the election and I was like, no way, too dumb even for trump to attempt it.
And then he at least floated the idea. There is no bottom.
