1) Is the curbside *photo ID* checking (text on the back of the privacy
   shield) supposed to be identical to that used at the RT and HT?  I
   assume YES and that the discrepancies are typos on both sheets.  For
   example,

   a) For curbside, is the (missing) 70-year-old expiration exemption
      applicable to DMV IDs and out-of-state driver licenses?  I assume
      YES, i.e, the same exemption should apply curbside as at the RT.

   b) Is the non-operator's identification card mentioned for curbside
      also good for RT checking (and with the 70-year-old exemption).  I
      assume YES.  Presumably this is another state's version of NC's
      DMV Identification card.

2) What should HT officials say to a voter about the ID to take to the
   BOE to resolve a "No Reasonable Resemblance" issue, given the
   mismatch between FAQ and Supplemental Guide vs. push card, poster,
   and Provisional Voter Instructions.  See my previous question on this
   in my 3/7/16 comments on the Voter ID Class Material.

3) The HT HAVA list in the "Voter ID Sample Signs and Forms" handout did
   not specify any expiration date restrictions for the photo ID
   documents.  Are there any now?  In the past they had to be unexpired.

4) Provisional Envelope:  "ID Provided" blue box near the bottom of the
   front side:  Is the "Yes" box checked if a good HAVA ID other than a
   standard photo ID (i.e., acceptable to the RT) is provided, or is
   "Yes" checked only for an ID the RT would bless, i.e., a
   gold-standard photo ID?  Or is it to say ANY ID was provided, good or
   bad, any type?

   At any rate, it seems to involve some unfortunate envelope flipping
   since the HT doesn't do the photo ID check until Step 1 on the back
   side.  (See next question.)  A lot of people may forget to check that
   front side box.  Is it superfluous given the other data collected on
   the envelope and attached Help Referral form?

5) Provisional Envelope:  "Ask for a valid photo ID", step 1 on the
   back:  I assume this is a full check, just as the RT would do.  In
   many cases it will repeat the check already done by the RT, although
   in some cases the name check would have to be done against the name
   the voter writes on the Provisional Envelope, not the name on the
   ATV, which may not be available (ATV Not in Pollbook), or the ATV may
   be suspect ("A" on ATV).

I hope there will be many circuits and people available for the Help
Line on 3/15/16.  Every time I poke at this I find more to ask.
Hopefully a lot is going to get shaken out with this election, making
the following ones easier to understand and to document procedures.
