Wisconsin: What is my recourse if I see tampering or fraud at the polls?

There will be a poll chief overseeing activities and possibly an election observer to speak with at the site. You can call local law enforcement to report a crime. You can also contact the Wisconsin Government Accountability office at 608-261-2028 or gabhelpdesk@wi.gov if you are unsure of the legality of a practice you witness at a voting place. G.A.B. will be open 6AM – 11PM today to assist the public.

I caution you not to attempt to involve them, though. However, one might make sure that they observe a complaint.

Generally, a poll watcher is not allowed to say anything, or participate in problem resolution. But they can report or, if need be, testify. That is basically their job.

Good luck!
