According to Greg Palast, the dirty tricks for this election are about the illegal removal of registered voters from the voter registration database in your state. He was interviewed on the radio about 2 weeks ago and here's a great article that sums up that interview nicely guiding voters (with links) about how to check for your registration to avoid being given a NEVER COUNTED provisional ballot on Election Day:

Apparently there are both state and a federal database that you can check online. Then go to your local Election Board office to correct the problem. Particularly vulnerable states are Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida and yes, Wisconsin! We must beat the Repubs at their own game.

Adding this link to check your voter registration in all 50 states:

Checking your own info and spreading the word about this dirty Republican trick so others can fix their registration or generate a new one in time for Election 2018 in November.

In all the states Hillary "lost", it was all about the tens of thousands of provisional ballots that are almost NEVER, EVER going to be counted! That's how Hillary won, but lost!
