Election Protection, a non-partisan coalition of more than 100 organizations led by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, is pushing out tips and resources for voters in the event voting doesn't go smoothly at some polling places.
The group laid out a three-step process if things start to feel off while casting a ballot or even just trying to enter a polling place.
First, do not engage. Second, continue inside and make sure you vote. Then notify a poll worker or official. Third, call the Election Protection hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683). From there, concerned voters can pass along info and local polling officials will be notified and take the proper next steps.
Tweets with the #ProtectOurVote hashtag on social media provide more information on voter safety -- along with messages from Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters accusing the other side of stealing votes and inciting violence.
