https://866ourvote.org/ 1-866-687-8683 Voter Hotline to report problems with votingor text "Our Vote" to 97779
The national, nonpartisan Election Protection coalition works year-round to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Made up of more than 100 local, state and national partners, Election Protection uses a wide range of tools and activities to protect, advance and defend the right to vote.
Election Protection provides Americans from coast to coast with comprehensive information and assistance at all stages of voting from registration, to absentee and early voting, to casting a vote at the polls, to overcoming obstacles to their participation. Election Protection helps voters make sure their vote is counted through a number of resources, including:
A suite of voter helplines: 866-OUR-VOTE (administered by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law), 888-Ve-Y-Vota (administered by the NALEO Educational Fund), 844-Yalla-US (Arabic/English) administered by the Arab American Institute, and 888-API-VOTE administered by APIAVote & Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC);
Voter protection field programs across the country (both legal managed by the Lawyers Committee, and grassroots managed by Common Cause); and
Digital outreach tools including org, @866ourVote, and facebook.com/866OurVote.
Throughout the election cycle, our volunteers provide voter information, document problems they encounter when voting and work with partners and volunteers on the ground to identify and remove barriers to voting. Election Protection focuses on the voter not on the political horse race and provides guidance, information and help to any American, regardless of his or her voting choices.

(13,821 posts)3. Ok there is a voting incident........ SOOO0000oooo
What can be done about it?? No power chords for machines??? Machines locked up and no key? No Paper ballots??? Oops-sie is not the correct response..
Can the guilty party be held accountable??? And if it's obvious what is being done (voter suppression) can the person be charged???
Just curious...

(7,606 posts)5. several lawsuits have been filed on behalf of voters who have been disenfranchised.
The more people report incidents, the more evidence there is. Seems statistically impossible that the incidents being reported are "accidents" or "glitches" considering that most of them favor rethugs. However, election fraud and/or mishaps are non-partisan issues and should be reported by all voters regardless of party affiliation.
