No single move decides anything — the damage is the total effect. So track the total. Mark each tactic as you watch it happen, then report what you saw.
Marking a square records it for you. Adding a link records it for everyone.
A link is required, and it has to be a link to a page, not a claim. Established outlets and .gov addresses publish straight away; everything else is read by a person first. Shortened links are refused, because they hide where they go.
The key — what each square means
The repository
If you mark a square, do this
Don’t confront anyone. Tell the poll workers first. Election officials have the authority to keep order at a polling place and can bring in county officials.
Call 911 only in a real emergency. A police presence can intimidate voters all by itself.
Call the Election Protection hotline no matter how the poll workers respond. The number is below.
Then leave and document it. Note the date, time and location, and report what you saw to your county board of elections and the county district attorney.
Know who is allowed to question you. In California, only poll workers can challenge a voter’s eligibility. Rules vary by state — anyone else doing it should be reported.
Watch certification. County canvass meetings are open to the public and many take public comment.
Call your member of Congress. Ask whether they’ll sign the pledge, co-led by Republican Rep. Don Bacon, to seat every state-certified winner. Only 17 had signed as of Oct. 27.
Don’t share nonsense — not even nonsense that flatters your side. Muddy water is the product.
