Propublica/Electionland News Collaborative: Please Tell Us If You Have Any Trouble Voting This Year

https://www.propublica.org/getinvolved/please-tell-us-if-you-have-any-trouble-voting-this-year

Electionland is a collaborative project to report on voting problems with local and national newsrooms around the country.

We will be on the lookout for any problems that prevent people from voting — such as mail ballot delivery problems, changed voting locations, long lines, registration problems, purged voter rolls, broken machines and voter intimidation. You can help us. To let us know how your voting experience goes, here’s how to sign up and get in touch.

SMS: Text the word VOTE, VOTA (for Spanish) or 投票 (for Chinese) to 81380 (standard text message rates apply).

WhatsApp: Send the word VOTE, VOTA (for Spanish) or 投票 (for Chinese) to 1-850-909-8683.

A bit more text at link, including FB Messenger address: m.me/electionland and a form.to fill out if voting problems observed or experienced.

This is for voters, poll workers, supervisors, observers.

Please feel free to copy & xpost often!

People with PTSD from tRumpian dystopia / watching abuse of protestors and people of color.

Voting should not be threatening. tRump COVID is bad enough!
