Question, on NOT allowed to vote. (Not my problem BUT) [View all]

If your in a situation where they DO NOT allow you to cast your vote, (Important swing states especially) What can you do? Would be nice if the Democrats would set up a phone number or place where people could file a complaint immediately!! Keep tabs of WHO and how many were NOT allowed to vote! Maybe this is already happening? Just curious because i've never heard of anything like this.
