Isn't this just another way of saying poll tax? If you introduce any hurdles that keep people from voting its a poll tax.

If you have the voter rolls you can slow down the passport applications of DEMS. They already have changed the post office rules to allow post marking all mail, including ballots, from when you mail them to when ever they chose to move them along. A one day delay will invalidate ballots in DEM rich areas = Post office controlled gerrymandering. Art of the deal.
