I'm guessing the second and third bulleted items along with the last two items are the sources of the opposition to overriding the filibuster here.

That would solve so many problems of long lines, etc. Plus it enables people with long work hours or commutes, people with child or elder care responsibilities, people who can’t drive, to vote. I’m sure Repugs think these people shouldn’t vote anyway.
