My conservative employer is making threats. (need advice)

45. We just went through something similar with our niece's boss.

There are both state and federal laws against voter intimidation. The Civil Rights Division enforces the civil provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965; the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Act of 1986 (UOCAVA); the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (Motor Voter or NVRA); and the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). Look them up, hand out copies to your coworkers and your boss.


Project Vote has a good write up on this:

You can contact the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice for guidance or to file a complaint:


"Civil Rights Division staff will be available at special toll-free numbers to receive complaints related to free and fair ballot access (1-800-253-3931), (TTY line 1-888-305-3228), including allegations of voter intimidation or coercion targeted at voters because of their race, color, national origin or religion. In addition, individuals can also report complaints, problems or concerns related to voting via the Internet. Forms may be submitted through a link on the Department’s Web page: http://www.usdoj.gov/ . "
