Ron Machen, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has appointed an election day officer to monitor tomorrow’s voting and handle any complaints of fraud.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan P. Hooks will be responsible for responding “to complaints of election fraud or voting rights abuses.” He can be reached at 202-252-6801.
“Over the past several years, we have been aggressive in our efforts to protect the integrity of elections in the District of Columbia,” Machen said in a release. “Ensuring free and fair elections depends on citizens coming forward with information about discrimination or election fraud. We ask that citizens remain vigilant about protecting the democratic process and immediately make any specific information available to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FBI, or the Civil Rights Division.”
D.C.’s FBI office can be reached at 202-278-2000, and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division can be reached at 1-800-253-3931 or voting.section@usdoj.gov.
