I hate that "If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal" quote. Yes it's probably not going to change much, but the fact that governments have been actively working over the years to make it harder for trans people, people without fixed addresses or people who can't afford photo ID to vote suggests they're worried it'll change something, and by discouraging people from voting you're actively helping them with this.
