Hawaii is attempting to address illegal assistance.  “House lawmakers will consider prohibiting Hawaii employers, unions and candidates from helping voters complete their ballots after a committee approved a bill aimed at preventing voter fraud.”

The bill, however, might run afoul of Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act.  For example, if a voter wanted a candidate to assist them, it’s hard to see how a state can ban that.  Suppose a candidate’s 98 year old grandmother needed help voting.  The Voting Rights Act allows the candidate to assist her.  The Hawaii bill seems to ban it.
