Many belligerent groups, self-styling themselves as "militias," have vowed to patrol polling sites across the nation tomorrow in order to intimidate voters and cause them to turn away from the voting booth. One of the Presidential candidates himself has asked them to do this.
If you witness voter suppression/intimidation at your voting site there are steps you can take to do something about it. If you report what you've seen to local poll workers and they are unwilling or unable to do anything about it you can contact the Lawyers Committee:
Inside or outside a polling location, the first thing to do is tell a poll worker. They can then address the issue, inform election officials, or request help from police if needed.
Voters who witness any issues should also call the Election Protection hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE, which is maintained by the Lawyers' Committee:
The Justice Department also has a hotline, which voters should also call after contacting Election Protection or if the Election Protection hotline is busy.
Justice Department voting rights discrimination hotline: 800-253-3931
