It's a pretty long jump to say that proving you are who you say is voter suppression. Cutting down or doing away with early voting would eliminate a certain amount of voter fraud. What exactly is it that you oppose about the elimination of voter fraud??
This is pretty simple. For every policy intervention, there are frequently multiple effects. One of those is supposedly to prevent voter fraud. Another would also reduce the amount of time a voter has to vote.
Now, next step. How serious is the voter fraud problem? From what we truly know about it, it is a rather small problem. On the other hand, it has massive public play.
Now, yet another step. How frequently is early voting used? From what we know, it is immensely popular in North Carolina and throughout the country. In fact, it is so popular many argue that the lines are still egregiously long.
In the supposed effort to make America's elections more secure from fraud and abuse, you would still impact the ability for the average, law-abiding citizen to vote by reducing his or her ability to do so.
While we can discuss the relative cost and benefits of a voter ID requirement (I say it is not needed, but also not always inherently difficult or expensive to acquire), what seems to be fairly obvious is that while we are chasing a small population (perhaps larger, but even then, people are arguing based on desperate guesswork) of lawbreakers, we are making it much more difficult for a much larger percentage of the population to exercise their civic duty.
