Number one, you don’t do it in a political year. You want to change the voting process, you do it from out years, not including the election cycle you are in. It adds some legitimacy to your effort. When a voter, however ill-informed or wise they may be in their understanding of the facts before them, if they feel put upon, if they feel suppressed, change your act.
Totally not doing it the right way is totally outgoing Maine GOP Chair Charlie Webster, who was horrified by the sight of black people voting in Maine—and even one Chinese guy, apparently—and demanded a crackdown. Despite defending himself by claiming that he plays basketball with a black guy every Sunday (video not available), Charlie got so much heat that he decided to call off the investigation. So voting while black is still not a crime in the Pinetree State, although it is awfully damn suspicious.
