What to do if you are turned away from the polls
If you are a registered voter and you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away. Tell them "Give me a provisional ballot and receipt as law requires.”
It depends on the state you live in, but here are steps you can take in any state to make sure you can vote in this election:
Check your registration now. While the voter registration deadline has passed in many states, it is still important that you double-check and make sure you are still properly registered to vote. Plus, 17 states allow for Election Day registration—check here to see if your state is one of them.
Find your polling place before Election Day. You can be turned away if you attempt to vote at the wrong location, so make sure that you know where to go. You should also be aware of the polling place hours and make sure that you arrive before they close. Remember that if you are in line at the time the polling location is set to close, you still have the right to vote and they cannot legally turn you away. Call the nonpartisan hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE if you run into any problems.
Make sure you have the required voter identification with you when you vote. Different states have different standards about what identification they will accept, so make sure to check in advance. Check now, that way if you don't have the required identification, you may have time to obtain it before Election Day.
Vote early if that option is available. If you have been falsely removed from the rolls, you will find out sooner rather than later and can call 1-866-OUR-VOTE to connect with a voter protection volunteer who can help you figure out what to do next.
If you are not on the voting rolls at your precinct or are turned away, election officials are required to give you a provisional ballot. (Some states call it a “challenge ballot” or an “affidavit ballot.”) Ask for one and request a receipt or other information about what you need to do to be sure your vote is counted.
If you have any problems that you can't work out, call the toll-free, nationwide, nonpartisan hotline 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683) and talk to a trained volunteer for voting assistance.

I vote by mail and have already cast my ballot. I live in a really rural place and do get out on occasion to rally others, I certainly stay on the younger faction of my family, mostly women... they do't need too much encouragement. Several own pink hats.
This info is absolutely a major weapon for honest voters being wrongly purged to fight for their right. I laud everyone who gets this out into the public well before the last day of voting.
