20. RIght, use existing laws; some new laws would be fine, but not
if they are just re-arranging the old deck chairs on the DRE Titanic. Need to actually think about election integrity, not just amend the regime to make it less harmful (assuming that even succeeds)

This is one of the oldest games in the book, which starts in adolescence: asking the old man for the car for the entire weekend for a trip up north, then "settling" for the car on Friday night.

Current legislation is trying to arrange a one night stand on democracy, because the voting machine companies start out from the position that they now "own" the counting of the vote.
