11. Don't despair

Some kind of voter ID law is necessary because of HAVA, but HAVA only requires ID for first-time voters that didn't show ID when they registered. If that's what the bill says, it's just HAVA compliance. If it goes further than that, it could be a big problem! Also, make sure there is random auditing in the paper trail part, otherwise it's useless. And you'll need some means by which full hand recounts can be obtained. Glad your gov. will veto the worst of this legislation. That might help. Don't give up!
