The DOJ Voter Toll Free # and Online Form if you see Any problem whatsoever when Voting Tuesday

Last edited Mon Nov 7, 2016, 10:56 PM - Edit history (4)

[center]

The Voting Section of the DOJ enforces the civil provisions of the federal laws that protect the right to vote, including the Voting Rights Act, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act and the Civil Rights Acts.

The Voting Section accepts complaints about possible violations of the federal voting rights laws


By telephone at: (800) 253-3931 (toll free) or (202) 307-2767 or by fax at (202) 307-3961

Or - On the internet: https://www.justice.gov/crt/complaint/votintake/

Or - By email at: voting.section@usdoj.gov

By letter to the addresses below: Voting Section Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice Room 7254 - NWB 950 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, DC 20530


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are unable to speak to someone at the DOJ, feel free to call the Election Protection Coalition at:

English: 866-Our-Vote
Spanish: 866-Ve-Y-Vota
Asian Languages: 866-API-Vote


-----


If you see any form of harassment near a voting location, whether that be people standing right outside the building, questioning the status of certain people's right to vote before entering the building, call the number from a safe area.

Call 911 if you feel your life or someone else's is in danger.

If you experience any problems inside with another voter, get a poll worker's assistance.

If a poll worker inside does not let you vote, ask to speak to the supervisor and even if they say you cannot vote, at minimum, vote with a provisional ballot[/].

Get out to vote, and if nervous, go with a friend!

Mahalo for the invaluable PSA! Excellent graphic to denote the psycho predator sending out his flunkies to break the law.

Annoying Orange is literally - extremely annoying - like how a 10 yr old boy acts with too much soda and sugar in their veins, and with no supervision? The videos are very popular with, no surprise - kids! LOL So, when I see "Annoying Orange" I think TRUMP!

And if they ask why you used it, you say you were being attacked on election day, like we were living Sub-Sahara Africa, and felt scared for your life.


Trump has no shame, and he will go down in history as deploying tactics we haven't seen in decades. I heard Keith Olbermann say that Donald wants to keep holding rallies after the election for the next 8 years... The guy is clearly a maniac and sick human being who loves chaos and people staring at him while he blathers on about himself and his hatred of everyone who doesn't lift him up as a god.....

This year, I'm voting by mail here in California. But a part of me wishes I were going to the polls and getting either accosted by a Trump Loon or told that I can't vote by a poll worker... just to give them a piece of my mind. Being both white and older, this probably wouldn't happen, but Gawd I would love to jump down some idiot's throat if they even hinted at taking away my one, major, beautiful American right... voting! Hell, I'd do it if I saw it happening to someone else.

about if you see anyone harassing others on voting day, record it. We all want to stop their fascism! You are clearly well suited to defend your rights and others!

As Keith said - based on everything Trump has said, even up to today, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE with him and his goon squad! So, I will be listening very intently on election day, and hope we don't have dozens of his goons around the country harassing people! The DOJ will jump on it, I'm sure, at least hoping that would be the case.

DU'er awake has asked me to post this information, so I am, since DU'er William769 got some push back about his ID in FL. He handled it fabulously, but there are people who would be terrified or incapable of standing up for themselves like he did, and they need reminded to what they can do.

Part of me wanted to wait for the day...but I couldn't wait any longer. I plan to walk down to my polling place that day, it's at the library, will hang out and watch the activity.

since there's idiots like this apparently in NC!?! Twitter post says "Trump Poll worker" There's a good DUer who said she's calling DoJ and ACLU about it, after pnwmom and I replied with our threads to assist with her seeing this and posting about it.
