It all depends on your end objective.So you and EL are on the same page , the end result outweighs the cost . Do you two feel the same way about voter IDs? Because sure some people won’t get to vote but in the end the cost is minimal compared to the result .
If your end objective is to get guns out of the hands of crazy people even if a few non-crazies will be temporarily inconvenienced you will view things differently than the person whose end objective is to make sure no one has their "right" to guns violated even if it means some crazy people keep their guns and kill some innocent people.
If your end objective is to make voting accessible to as many legal voters as possible even if it means there are a few illegal votes, you will view things differently than the person whose end objective is to make voting requirements such that the few illegal votes will be reduced but at the expense of many more legal votes.
