Reasonable people can oppose same day automatic voter registration if it comes without proper fraud prevention.

Everyone should support adequate access to polling sites, but also understand that there is a level of free access that has in the past allowed and encouraged fraud. I think no reasonable person could disagree that showing an ID is a reasonable requirement for voting.

Ok here is some reasonable disagreement

Voter impersonation is a very rare type of fraud [0] and ID laws tend to make it hard for some but not all voters to vote [1] meaning they don't prevent fraud, they just prevent democrat votes.
