Pennsylvania Launches Hotline For Voters and Election Workers to Report Threats

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) announced the launch of a new election hotline for voters and election workers to report threats of physical violence.

Shapiro explained last week that following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, his administration has taken measures to reduce election-related threats.

“Political violence has no place in Pennsylvania – the birthplace of American democracy – nor anywhere else across this country,” Shapiro said in a statement. “While individuals may have profound disagreements and differences about our politics, the way we address those disagreements in this country must be peaceful, through the political process.”

Pennsylvanians can call the new election hotline, run by the Department of State (DOS), at 1-877-VOTESPA to report voter intimidation, election fraud, or other election crimes. People can also file an election complaint online.
