Friends of ALIPAC,

After receiving numerous complaints on our website about voting irregularities in today's Super Tuesday elections, we are issuing the following tips as an advisory.

The three complaints we have received all involve voters on our team going to vote and being told that they already voted. In most cases they are allowed to fill out a provisional ballot, however these will not be counted in the main vote totals tonight. Provisional ballots are often counted much later.

The following is not intended as legal advice.

If you see or experience suspicious activities while voting, please consider the following steps.

1. Write up a detailed description of the problem and place it on the ALIPAC website at this link, to create an account of the events for us to review.

2. Proceed to your county board of elections and insist that you be allowed to file a written complaint about the problem. Some board of elections staff may try to disuade you from doing so, but you should insist and make copies of your written complaint. For your complaint to count, it must be submitted in writing.

Insist that a Board of Elections worker issue you copies and a receipt for your complaint. Make sure that an officer of your County Board signs it and is not a temporary employee or volunteer just working during the elections.

3. Once you have filed a complaint with the County Board, proceed to contact your state board of elections and the Federal Elections Commission located at www.FEC.gov and insist that you be allowed to file a written complaint through both agencies.

4. If you see others who witness or experience the same difficulties as you, approach them and politely ask for their phone numbers, in case you need witnesses later on.

It is very common for there to be a host of problems on election day, but you never know when these problems could be part of a broader problem.

If you, or anyone you know, experiences or witnesses significant problems with today's vote, please follow the procedures we have presented here.

Our online activists are at the ready to assist you and answer any questions and provide full support.
