Trouble Voting? We Want To Hear From You. Help HuffPost and ProPublica investigate problems at the polls.

By Sam Levine POLITICS 11/02/2018 02:04 pm ET



HuffPost is partnering with ProPublica’s Electionland project as part of a reporting collaboration to write about access to the ballot box in the 2018 elections. And we need you to alert us to problems at the polls so we can investigate them.

No tip is too small: We’re interested in long lines at polling places, as well as voters receiving incorrect information about voting. Are you missing from the voting rolls? Tell us about it. Did a voting machine glitch on you? We want to know about that, too.

Voting processes can vary widely from state to state ― from the kinds of IDs required at the polls to how aggressively states can remove people from the voting rolls.

I did for my Granny's voting experience. I feel it's important to log issues with groups that are looking for patterns of trouble with this year's election.

The guy who spoke with me was super nice, and I felt I was taken seriously.
