No. If you actively see someone harassing someone. That’s a crime. Call 911. The fuck with calling a random 800 number.
Who do you call when it’s the police doing the harassing?
The fuck relevance is that? Where do you think police are sitting at polling places harassing people?
When they’re off duty? Quite possibly.
The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack, some of whom participated in vandalism and looting, including in the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members.
So you think there’s only 2000 police officers in the USA? That 100% of them are at polling places harassing people and have a coverage of all polling places in America?
The fuck looney world are you all going on about? Your own source says
Nearly 30 sworn police officers from a dozen departments
Okay so at worst that’s 30 polling places. And somehow this is something to bring up like it’s going to be a statistical probability. This constant ACAB bullshit has infected you all and it’s disappointing.
30 out of 21000 polling places is not “quite possibly” get out of here.
Edit: There’s an estimated 900k police officers in the country. 30 did something you think is shitty, therefore the other 899.999k are also bad and will be there to make you regret voting and harass you! What a silly stupid argument.
Wow, you sure got a lot out of “quite possibly.”
I’m not sure what you think it meant, but it didn’t mean all those words you put in my mouth. It means police officers [and I don’t know why I have to say this, but not 100% of all police officers] quite possibly could sit at polling places and harass people. You certainly haven’t said anything to counter that possibility.

Cool since you admit it’s not 100%… Then call 911. My original statement doesn’t change. The Officers who aren’t part of the 0.01% that’s a problem can deal with it. Calling an 800 number will not change anything.
Edit: Maybe now with that curt response you can see how your statement could only be taken in such a way and why I responded why I did.
I was responding to this, hence my replying directly to it explicitly about what it said:
That’s you, right? It looks like your username.
Because the answer is still “quite possibly.”
What happens when you call them?
This is the group handling hotline coordination: https://866ourvote.org/about/
This one is actually administering the English-speaking hotline: https://lawyerscommittee.org/
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.
Not American, and couldn’t find a non-partisan resource, but here goes:
https://democrats.org/civic-engagement-and-voter-protection/
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.
TBF…voter intimidation is likely to be coming from the Republicans. I wouldn’t trust any sort of hotline they post, even if it was in good faith.
Republicans are the only ones to resort to violence or threats and that’s been true for decades.
