They don’t go into specifics of how they handle things, likely because it will vary by situation, but it sounds like they have a number of tools and actions at their disposal.
Our voter hotline exists to answer questions that cannot be easily answered online. The hotline is monitored by DNC employees who are prepared to field questions pertaining to felon disenfranchisement, voter purging, poll worker misconduct, voter machines, and accessibility. The hotline regularly operates on weekdays from 9:00am-6:00pm EST/EDT, and expands to both weekdays and weekends from 9:00am-9:00pm EST/EDT starting in October during election years.
You’ll hear a ringing noise until a person or an automated operator picks up the line. If you get a robot you’ll most likely be asked to press a number on the keypad corresponding to one of the options provided. This will probably transfer you to a person so you can give your report. If you get a person right off the bat I imagine they’ll ask you to give your report. If you have anymore questions such as, “how does a phone ring?”, “what’s a robot?”, “should I tell the person on the other line why I’m calling?”, anything like that, phone a friend or maybe try an internet search engine.

TBF…voter intimidation is likely to be coming from the Republicans. I wouldn’t trust any sort of hotline they post, even if it was in good faith.
Republicans are the only ones to resort to violence or threats and that’s been true for decades.
