The problem with the 'possible felon' designation is that the Florida experience showed that this was fraught with error. It appears that if someone with your name was in prison in that state, they can challenge your vote and the onus is on you to prove that you were never a felon.

I don't want fraudulent votes, but I don't want fraudulent challenges either, and a part of me wonders if the anti-fraud campaign is a method for lowering legitimate turnout and pushing up wait times at the polls to discourage voting.

While arguments can be made for tactics like caging, more arguments can be made against it. Nowhere in the Constitution does it mention giving up your right to vote because you weren't home to sign for a letter.

I agree that there will be a lot of challenges in this election. Thankfully after the disastrous results from the last two elections (and for once I'm not referring to who was elected), we came up with a clear procedure for provisional ballots. Forcing people in poor districts to wait for hours in line to vote as opposed to wealthier districts is in my opinion a violation of the equal protection clause.

There is a significant chance that provisional and absentee ballots will decide this election.

FYI, Tim Griffin, the GOP's current Deputy Head of Research was tied to voter caging by Monica Goodling during her testimony.
