PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Federal authorities have provided three numbers for reporting election fraud or voting rights abuses during Tuesday's election.
It is illegal to intimidate or bribe voters, buy and sell votes, alter vote tallies, stuff ballot boxes, and mark ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input, U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha said Monday. It is also illegal to intimidate voters at the polling place by questioning or challenging them, or by photographing or videotaping them.
To report suspected abuses, call Neronha's office at (401) 709-5068 or the FBI field office in Rhode Island at (401) 272-8310.
For complaints about ballot access or discrimination, call the Civil Rights Division's Voting Section in Washington at (800) 253-3931 or (202) 307-2767.
