From the Election Protection website:
The nonpartisan Election Protection coalition was formed to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process.
Through our state of the art hotlines: 1-866-OUR-VOTE (administered by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law) and 1-888-Ve-Y-Vota (administered by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Education Fund), this website, and comprehensive voter protection field programs across the country, we provide Americans from coast to coast with comprehensive voter information and advice on how they can make sure their vote is counted.
If you see or experience any shenanigans at the polls tomorrow, please call 866-OUR-VOTE/888-VE-Y-VOTA. Volunteers there can help you find your polling place, confirm your registration, educate you about the voting laws in your state, or in some cases, send mobile field units or contact election officials directly to address the problem.
We are not powerless, and we will be counted.

i wanted to thank you for posting this. i put it in my phone right away because i’m paranoid like that.
i recently moved into the city from a suburb, and i was curious to see if my new voting digs would be as lovely as they were the last time i voted. heh. it was SO poorly set up. it was pretty much discouraging those pesky poor black people to get frustrated and not want to bother waiting to vote. by 6:20am when i got there, i’m sure they were already violating fire codes with the number of people in that tiny, tiny room. i called as soon as i got home. the woman i talked to thanked me, genuinely, for calling.
i’m going to be writing that phone number up on the chalkboard in my classroom today. no more shenanigans!
