There are insufficient voting machines in many precincts. Remarkably, many of these precincts are in minority neighborhoods. We know that some voters were made to stand in incredibly long lines in part because of an insufficient number of machines.
Why not start a fund to buy machines for these precincts? We could give them as a gift. Even if they were refused, we would be able to put on record officials with all-too-likely partisan biases as refusing something that would be saving the local taxpayers some money.
This of course isn't a cure-all, and maybe there are practical reasons why it is not feasible. But on the other hand with some organization it strikes me as something genuinely doable.
