if you'll support voting machines that are verifiable, safe, impossible to hack, and impossible to rig.

I don't support photo-ID because the states make it so damned difficult to GET photo ID, but I'll swap that for verifiable voting.

Nothing less will do.

5. I could go with it.
Not going to matter much though.

If I recall correctly the SCOTUS is going to rule on this excat issue this session.

With the current make up of the court is there any question how it will rule??

Especially since if I remember correctly Roberts had something to do with an issues similar to this in NJ and that came up in his confirmation hearings. He seems to be favorable to this approach.
