This is in response to someone else’s post from half an hour ago, which contained phone numbers controlled by a politically aligned organization. It doesn’t matter which one.
Reports of election interference should go directly to the authorities:

How to report voter fraud, intimidation, or suppression
If you suspect voter fraud, report it to your state or territorial election office. You can also report it to:
- A local FBI office

If you witness or suspect voter intimidation or suppression, there are three ways you can report it:

- Use the Election Complaint Report online form

Is there precedent for casting a vote in the general election after election day in the United States?
Yes.
Example from 2018 in North Carolina:
(Note that the article also mentions another example in that state from 1975.)

Example from 2023 in Connecticut:
(I don’t know if this one was considered a general election.)

The North Carolina example is fascinating, I don’t know how I missed that when it happened. Incredibly, Harris is running again this year since he wasn’t among those convicted.
I’d argue the big difference would be if we’re talking the presidential election, since it’s not self-contained within a state or a city. I’d consider it unlikely the powers that be would let the presidential seat go vacant while they scramble to hold another election, but who knows?
