What to DO if your Voting Machine Flips Your Vote to Republican

Election integrity expert Emily Levy has some suggestions for every citizen:

Before you Vote, be prepared:

  • Bring a video camera (a cell phone video camera will do) to document the vote-flipping when you vote.
As You Vote:
  • Video the machine as you vote.
  • If it flips, tell officials, and call poll supervisors to observe the problem.
  • Alert everyone else in line waiting to vote which machine caused the problem, and warn everyone else not to use it!
  • Fill out a problem report
  • Refuse to vote on that machine
  • Request that the machine be taken out of service
  • Get a serial number of the machine if possible (may be unlikely in many cases)
  • Tell other voters not to vote on that machine
  • Call county/town election office
  • Call local reporters
  • Call voter problem hotlines (eg. 866-MYVOTE1 and 866-OUR-VOTE)
  • Contact bloggers and Election Integrity websites.
  • Raise holy hell.

After You Vote
  • Upload your video to VideoTheVote.org and YouTube, etc.!
