I do not believe any Registrar wants to hinder anyone from voting; however, you must realize that some localities in Virginia do not have the staff or office hours as do most localities. In an office that is open on a part-time basis for 7 months of the year it could potentially cause problems in properly preparing for elections and keeping records up to date. I believe there was another comment geared towards this issue. If I lock my door to go into the community to take photo ID's then I may be hindering someone else from coming to my office for a service(registration, absentee voting, etc) Making photo ID's for any locality will also take more time. Most days I am the only one in my office.
