This is the fundamental way to struggle against racist voter suppression.

In all states with racist voter ID laws, the strategy should be:

Register as many people to vote as possible;
Do something to get as many of the new voters a valid ID that will allow them to cast a ballot; and
Get them to the polling place and invite the TV cameras.

If these people are going to be turned away, we'll make a spectacle of it. By election day, the whole country should know that voter ID laws have nothing to do with fixing the almost nonexistent problem of voter fraud, but is nothing more of less than racist voter suppression.
