Voter ID-- help them get their ID.

You can do what you can to work within the system but ultimately, if the other side has convinced a majority to drink their brand of snake oil, there is not much you can do-- there is the choice to move, not available for most as we are moving into an era of decreased freedom of movement. There is the the other choice to operate outside the system and get things done which translates to a choice of civil disobedience/breaking the law. That is what had been done in civil rights era but it was not to really change the system as it exists-- it merely served to include more people in the system. Such cases can be used to bring issues to the courts. What happens when the courts are headed by the snake oil drinkers?

I think timing will be everything.
