COURSE OF ACTION WHEN DISCOVERING IRREGULARITIES
When you observe a violation (e.g. voter intimidation) DOCUMENT: Get the name of each person you reported it to and document the time in each of the following instances.
Copy and save this on your phone so you will be prepared to respond.
- First – smile and ask the offender’s name(s). See if you can get a copy of the documents.
- Second - find the election officials (there should be one for each of the major parties). Tell them what is going on and ask them to document it. Tell them: “Persons are not allowed to use wireless communication devices within 100 feet of the voting stations. Additionally, persons are not allowed to use mechanical or electronic devices to record, sound or images within 100 feet of the voting stations.” Texas elections code section 61.014 a, 81.002 poll watchers may not use these devices either but election officials may use these devices to conduct official duties. It is the election official’s duty to document violations of the law. Show the election official this law before you do anything else. After they have taken every measure possible to document the violation, advise every other election official at the site.
- Make a written complaint at the site. Each location should have complaint forms available to fill out. Keep a copy or demand a Xerox copy of the complaint.
- Report it to the Tarrant County Democratic Party (TCDP) (817) 335-8683 [email protected] or any other party.
- Report to 844 TX-VOTES (844) 898 6837
- Report the violation to Clint Ludwig, Elections Administrator. (817) 831-8683
- Report it to the sheriff’s task force. 817 884 1213
- Do not communicate these violations on social media or in forums as it might discourage voters.
