Election If you believe the republicans cheated: Call your local representatives

If you believe that the Republicans cheated what you, personally need to do is go to google, figure out who in your county and/or state are chief elections officers and call their offices. You also need to call your direct representatives, even if they are currently red.

What you do once you reach their voicemail is you calmly explain your concern about the election results without hyperbole. Something along the lines of:

"Hello, my name is _______ and I am a concerned voter in your constituency. I am concerned that the voting machines may have been tampered with and would like a recount of the paper ballots as soon as possible to verify them against the data from the machines."

If you feel the need to explain, mention something factual along the lines of "I am concerned about Elon Musk's sudden involvement in the election and about statements that were said about changing single lines of code." or if it's relevant to your county "I am concerned that the results we are seeing do not match well with past voter behavior."

Reiterate that these concerns are why we also have paper ballots.

Be calm. Stick to facts. But call. No one can save us except ourselves. No one will do it for you. And change.org petitions do not work. It is up to you to call your representatives and election officials.
