oswinstark:[VOTING IS YOUR RIGHT AS A CITIZENIf an alleged “poll watcher” tries to impede you at the voting booth:1 - Tell him to kindly step out of the way2 - Take his picture with a cell phone3 - Call the FBIFBI Civil Rights Division staff will be available by phone to receive complaints related to ballot access (202) 307-2767 or toll-free at (800) 253-3931. U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Voting Section can be reached at (202) 307-2767 or toll-free at (800) 253-3931.]Trump is literally signing people up on his website to be “poll watchers”. They say to “make sure no voter fraud has happened”. Voter fraud is virtually non-existent but Republicans keep using it as an excuse to restrict voters rights for Americans. Please spread these numbers. Please save these numbers in your phone. I don’t want to wake up on November 9th with a dictator as president, especially if it’s from illegal tactics like this. If you witness anything, or if you know anyone who witnesses anything, report it IMMEDIATELY! If you are unconformable with taking a photo of the person or confronting them then don’t, but you can still call and report it. You can also let the people at your polling place know and hopefully they will also do something.I’ve never had to call a poll watcher hotline before so I’m not really sure of any kind of script to use in this situation, but if anyone has and knows how the phone conversation will go and can try and write out a script for those of us who are more nervous on the phone I will happily reblog it. This is important. Know your rights. Don’t let Trump intimidate his way to power. -- source link
