This number connects to the DOJ civil rights division that handles real time reports of voter intimidation & other form of suppression. If you dont think the wingnuts will fuck with you at the polls, think again.

The best way to avoid issues is first make sure your registration is up to date, and do this NOW while there is time to correct any errors. If you can vote early, DO IT. If you can vote by mail, DO IT.
Then follow up to make sure your vote was received and counted.
For those whose states do not allow early voting, and vote by mail, assume the worst, and don't plan anything else on that day. get to the polls early in the day, bring any proper identification you need to identify yourself, and of course if you are hassled or prevented from voting report it as the OP said.
