Dale Ho, who is the Director of the ACLU Voting Rights Project tweeted:

Democratic voters in the Prince William area are receiving calls from outside the area telling that their polling place has changed:

This is a favorite dirty trick that Republicans have used in Democratic areas for years. It is an attempt to suppress the vote by giving voters false information. File these reports away and keep them in mind if the race ends up being very close. The big lesson from 2016 is that every vote counts and successful voter suppression efforts can cost Democrats elections.

If you receive one of these phone calls, record it then report it. Your vote is too valuable to be suppressed.
