The election worker is your first notification. They are REQUIRED to document all problems and turn them in.
The Secretary of State at the link I posted is the other notification necessary. If the contested ballots/machines haven’t been documented we have no recourse.
And if the election worker threatens to call the cops at your suggestion everything isn’t above board, then what?
Not everyone can afford (financially) a visit through the justice sytem. And I live in a VERY blue county...what do you think would happen to me?
