True
the Vote, a non-partisan organization for the integrity of elections, has just
announced a new “election integrity hotline” where concerned citizens can
report illegal or suspicious activity at polling stations throughout the
country.
“If you want to make a difference on November 6th, True the Vote has a job for you,” True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht explained. “Election integrity captured the American conscience with a rough cell phone video of New Black Panthers intimidating voters in Pennsylvania in 2008. Intimidation and electioneering is illegal inside and outside of polls. You have the power to be America’s eyes and ears.”
The number is 855-444-6100, but you can send photos and video to freeandfair@truethevote.org. They will take care of verifying credible reports and following up with the authorities.
True the Vote even has a video with some special instructions and tips, like where it is legal to film and how to ensure your videos get seen.
“All you need is your camera phone and a love of country to make a difference in this election,” they say.
