3. The Interstate Cross Check system deserves to be investigated. Voter ID laws need to be overturned

the number of polling places needs to be increased in communities where it has become common place to wait hours in line, and early voting needs to be expanded not curtailed.

And restore the Voting Rights Act.

This should be a major focus for Democrats. Voter suppression is a multi pronged approach by the GOP that needs to be addressed on all of those levels to truly get voting rights reformed.

For what it's worth Jill Stein is condemning the use of the Interstate Cross Check system and other voter suppression tactics:

Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka call for an immediate halt to the use of all voter suppression tactics, including "Interstate Crosscheck," to prevent the inevitable disenfranchisement of countless voters. Stein and Baraka pledge to guarantee the right to vote for all U.S. citizens and to fight what the Reverend Joseph Lowery calls "Jim Crow all over again."
