Federal Hotline Will Open To Field Complaints About Election Violations (http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=12&aid=64028)

Federal lawyers want to make sure that every vote counts next Tuesday, and so they set up a hotline that will field complaints about possible election law violations.

New Yorkers that live in the Bronx or Manhattan can call 212-637-2987 to report anything suspicious. Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island voters can report any bias at the ballots by calling 718-254-7000.

Some examples of election violations include voting sites that are inaccessible to disabled and elderly people, voting discrimination based on race, color or language, or any form of bribery or intimidation near the polls.
