Election Fraud Hotline Launched for Missouri Voters

St. Louis, MO — On Election Day, any attempt to rig the vote, bully voters at the polls, or alter ballots won’t go unchecked. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Missouri has activated a direct hotline—314-539-7733—for citizens to report suspected election fraud, voter intimidation, or outright theft of the ballot process. Lines will be staffed by federal prosecutors from 6 a.m., when polls open, until 7 p.m., when they close.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys will field complaints in real time, ready to escalate criminal violations involving bribery, ballot box stuffing, impersonation at polling places, or tampering with vote counts. Federal law makes such acts felonies—intimidating voters, marking ballots without consent, or buying and selling votes carries serious prison time. This isn’t a drill. The feds are watching.

The St. Louis FBI field office is also locked in. Special agents are on standby to investigate allegations of election interference. The public can reach them directly at 314-589-2500. With federal law enforcement agencies coordinating across jurisdictions, any attempt to undermine democracy will be met with full investigative force.

Complaints can also bypass local channels entirely and go straight to the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section in Washington, DC. Callers can dial 1-800-253-3931 or (202) 307-2767. Fax tips to (202) 307-3961, email voting.section@usdoj.gov, or file a formal complaint online at http://www.justice.gov/crt/complaint/votintake/index.php.

U.S. Attorney Richard Callahan made it clear: the integrity of the election hinges on public vigilance. ‘Ensuring free and fair elections depends in large part on the cooperation and vigilance of the American people,’ Callahan said. ‘It is imperative that those who have specific information about discrimination or election fraud report that information to the local election authority, my office, the FBI or the Civil Rights Division.’

This isn’t about politics. It’s about procedure. It’s about prosecution. If someone tries to steal a vote, block a ballot, or threaten a neighbor at the polls, federal law will come down hard. The hotline is live. The feds are listening. Report it—before the damage spreads.
