RT @CatherineTurcer: If you receive questionable texts, call the local board of elections or nonpartisan Election Protection at 866-OUR-VOT…



From the article...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Michael O'Brien has cast his vote during election time at the same polling place for years.

snip..He called the 614 area code number where the text originated, but discovered it was disconnected.

Monday morning, O'Brien received a similar text message, this time from a 216 area code.

That number was also disconnected.

He then called the Franklin County Board of Elections.

O'Brien (the voter) is not committing fraud.

Calling something voter fraud that actually vote suppression feeds into the meme that we need voter ID to prevent voters from voting fraudulently.
