I think you were alluding to the 2000 election, maybe, where the Help America Vote Act came into being? Well, that

So under the Help America Vote Act, if your eligibility is questioned, even if that's, you know, they're questioning the validity of your ID, whether or not you're registered, whether you've properly updated your registration, you're entitled to request a provisional ballot.
Juliette BeckstrandGUEST
22:55

Pete KalinerHOST
23:33
And then it's on the Board of Elections to go through and do the due diligence to find out whether or not you're eligible to vote.
Pete KalinerHOST
23:39
And a lot of states don't do that.
