ii. Quoting party/minority/civil rights leadership as denouncing tactics that discourage people from voting
• Prime minority leadership to discuss the issue in the media; provide talking points

• Warn local newspapers not to accept advertising that is not properly disclaimed or that contains false warnings about voting requirements and/or about what will happen at the polls

4. Plan and completely prepare for possible legal action well in advance of election day
5. Have Secretary of State record public service announcements about election day – when polls are open, who is eligible, etc.
