With the reports of voter suppression, computer failures, blatant electioneering by Republicans close to or even inside of polling stations, long lines, unwarranted voter challenges and so on, it’s important that people have a handy means of reporting irregularities and violations and/or of finding out their rights in the event that they are challenged, blocked from voting or asked to take a provisional ballot instead of a real one.
Here’s contact information for those of you observing irregularities and/or being blocked from casting a standard ballot.

And don’t just fight back against being denied your own right to vote. If you encounter or observe crap like the Durham County BOE chairman electioneering for Republicans inside a polling station as reported above in this thread, REPORT IT! Even if it’s just a private citizen doing it!
