Our voter hotline exists to answer questions that cannot be easily answered online. The hotline is monitored by DNC employees who are prepared to field questions pertaining to felon disenfranchisement, voter purging, poll worker misconduct, voter machines, and accessibility. The hotline regularly operates on weekdays from 9:00am-6:00pm EST/EDT, and expands to both weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-9:00pm EST/EDT starting in October during election years.
They don’t go into specifics of how they handle things, likely because it will vary by situation, but it sounds like they have a number of tools and actions at their disposal.

Republicans are the only ones to resort to violence or threats and that’s been true for decades.
