Dept of Justice Investigation of Vote Problems in WI, PA, Michigan

I know this is a return to the denial and bargaining phase of grief, but a bunch of sites are picking up this story now, and whether or not it is a hoax, making the phone call is worth a shot. The count is so close in these states, and they haven't finished Michigan's count yet. Right now at 11pm ET the 202 number is busy, but you can get right through to the 1-800 number--I got through immediately--maybe it is easier to connect late in the evening and off hours and read the script below:

Please take one minute and call/email the DOJ -Department of Justice- : 1-800-253-3931 (press 5) or 202-353-1555 (leave message)

email: voting.section@usdoj.gov

"My name is [first last name], I'm calling from [city],[state] to respectfully request you pursue an investigation into voter suppression, Russian collusion and FBI interference with the 2016 presidential election. Please issue an injunction until a thorough investigation can take place."


The point is to provide the DOJ with numbers so they can say X number of Americans want an injunction. Short, sweet, polite does the trick.

Thank you to ithiliana

Here's an article on the issue.

I read that if you hit 5 instead of 4 and speak to a live operator, they will tally your call. Haven't had a chance to call yet, but I will let you know if that's the case.

ETA: also, I don't consider it denial. We know that Bush stole the election from Gore in 2000. We know that Russia was involved in hacking during this election. All signs point to it being true.

OK, thanks! Do let me know.

Yeah--the Guardian and CNN hadn't picked up the story yet when I posted last night, so I was being cautious about the story.

Trump is doing all he can to keep the press and the whole world watching his spinning ball so we'll time out on the deadlines when investigating this can make a difference--that's Bannon's strategy. And I think Clinton and Obama are afraid that pursuing this could lead to rioting in the streets from both sides and undo peaceful transition, and whether it's worth that risk. That's why Gore didn't do more. I DO think it's worth that risk vs 4 or more years of Trump and the Republicans that stand with him and what they will do to the world. Please Hillary, don't quit on us!
