Millions of Americans will head to the polls on Tuesday. Many will undoubtedly run into problems trying to cast their vote — be it long lines, language barriers, or intimidation tactics.But remember, all Americans are afforded certain rights when they perform their civic duty — and it's vital that everyone know those rights to ensure every vote is counted.According to the American Civil Liberties Union, these rights are afforded to every voter.Anyone who feels that their right to vote was infringed upon can call the Voter Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. The hotline is run by Election Protection, a coalition of lawyer's groups dedicated to voting rights.Voting logisticsIt's not uncommon for polling stations to see long lines on Election Day. But as long as a voter gets in line before that polling station closes, they have the right to vote. Even if there are still hundreds of people ahead of you in line as the polls are closing, stay in line — you will still be allowed to vote.Voters are also allowed to ask for a new ballot if they believe they've made a mistake. All voters should also be given the right to vote on a paper ballot if electronic machines are down.Registration issuesShould a poll worker tell you that you are not listed on a list of registered voters, take the following steps:Have the worker double-check the spelling of your nameAsk if there is a supplemental list of voters.Confirm you are at the correct polling station. If not, ask where your assigned polling station is and how to get there.If the poll worker cannot find your name, ask them to check a statewide system or contact your state's primary election office.Anyone still having issues voting can also vote provisionally. That means a voter can even cast their ballot, but state officials will need to confirm the registration before it is counted. If and when the state guarantees that the voter is registered, the vote is counted.In addition, many states allow voters to register on Eleciton Day. Those states are Alaska, California, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Voters who register the day of the election in Alaska and Rhode Island are only permitted to vote for President.Rights for voters with disabilitiesFederal law requires that all polling stations be fully accessible to all Americans, including those with disabilities. That law includes not just physical disabilities, but it also covers conditions like vision impairment and dyslexia. All polling stations should consist of at least one booth with a voting system that allows those with disabilities to vote privately and independently.Those with disabilities that prevent them from communicating can also receive help from a person of their choice, so long as that person is not their employer, an "agent" of their employer, or an officer of their worker's union.Finally, poll workers must provide "reasonable accommodations" and help voters with disabilities if they can. They cannot deny a voter with a mental disability the right to vote because they feel they are not qualified.Voters with disabilities should also be comfortable asking poll workers if they feel they are unable to stand in line or have other physical limitations that would prevent them from voting.Language barriersUnder the Voting Rights Act, individual counties are required to provide "bilingual assistance to voters in specific languages." Those counties are required to provide all election materials in those languages.Voters who don't speak English can also bring a helper, as long as they are not an employer, an agent of their employer, or a member of their union.Voter intimidationIt is illegal to intimidate, threaten or attempt to coerce a voter at a polling station, and anyone who does would be charged with a federal crime. Forms of intimidation may include:Anyone who questions your citizenship or criminal recordAnyone that falsely identifies themselves as a poll workerAnyone spreading misinformation at a polling stationBe sure to keep an eye out for familiar sources of misinformation at the polls.Speaking or reading English is not a requirement to vote.Voters do not need to pass a test to vote.Some states do not require a photo ID to vote.Anyone who believes they have been victims of voter intimidation can offer a sworn statement to a poll worker and then cast their ballot. Voters can also call the Voter Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE for help. 4568

Millions of Californians could face energy blackouts this week amid a historic heatwave — a situation described by energy officials as a "perfect storm."According to The Weather Channel, parts of California and the southwestern U.S. are in the midst of a heatwave that is pushing temperatures to, in some cases, 15 degrees above average. According to Weather Channel forecasts, the heatwave could stick around through the end of the workweek.The heatwave may have also produced one of the highest temperatures ever recorded on the planet Earth — a temperature reading from Death Valley on Sunday was recorded at 130 degrees, though it still needs to be verified by meteorologists.The high temperatures caused the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to issue a State 3 emergency last Friday and Saturday — the first time the agency had done so in about 20 years.The decision led to some blackouts throughout the state over the weekend, prompting an angry response from Gov. Gavin Newsome."These blackouts, which occurred without warning or enough time for preparation, are unacceptable and unbefitting of the nation's largest and most innovative state," Newsom wrote in a letter to CAISO and other California energy agencies.The agency has warned that if the heatwave persists, it may need to continue rotating blackouts to millions of homes and businesses throughout the week to certain sections of the power grid to prevent overtaxing the system.CAISO has issued a Flex Alert throughout the state that is currently in effect until Wednesday. The alert calls on Californians to take certain steps to limit energy usage during peak hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.Among the recommendations in the Flex Alert are:Setting air conditioning thermostats to 78 degrees, if health permitsDeferring the use of major appliancesTurning off unnecessary lightsUnplugging unused electrical devicesClosing blinds and drapesUsing fans when possibleLimiting time the refrigerator door is open.In addition to threatening the power grid, California's heatwave has also sparked dozens of wildifires across the state. As of about noon on Tuesday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection was battling 26 active wildfires, which have burned more than 200,000 acres of forest. 2283

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Authorities were investigating a report of a body found within the burn zone of a huge wildfire in Southern California, but the coroner's office was unable to confirm Wednesday whether it was burned.Two deaths were previously linked to the weeklong blaze in Ventura and Los Angeles counties that was 52 percent contained after scorching more than 152 square miles (394 square kilometers), engulfing homes, scenic canyon getaways and celebrity estates.The body under investigation was found in a burned residence in the Agoura Hills area. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department called it an apparent fire-related death but did not immediately have any further information.The Woolsey fire flared before sunrise Wednesday in rugged wilderness at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains as winds buffeted parts of the region.RELATED: Interactive Map: Hill, Woolsey?Fires burn in Southern California / How to help victims of California's wildfiresThe flare-up sent a huge column of smoke out to sea as it burned in parklands well away from communities.The National Weather Service said winds would slack off sufficiently during the afternoon to allow authorities to lower wildfire warnings from their highest "red flag" levels.Forecasters cautioned, however, that low humidity levels would keep danger levels elevated.Authorities allowed residents back into several more communities on Tuesday, including a section of Malibu. Other areas have been repopulated since the weekend. As many as 250,000 people were ordered out at the height of the fire.Officials tempered optimism with caution, saying there were hotspots and pockets of unburned vegetation that could ignite."We are not out of the woods yet. We still have some incredibly tough conditions ahead of us," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said Tuesday.The two adults found dead last week in a car overtaken by flames have not been identified.The number of homes and other structures destroyed stood at 435 but that number was expected to rise.More than 80 percent of National Parks Service land in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area was incinerated.Some people who stayed behind in coastal communities that were cut off by road closures got supplies by boat. Gas, food, baby wipes and horse pellets were among the items brought ashore in the Paradise Cove area of Malibu. Some residents donned wetsuits and swam ashore with cases of water and beer."It's pretty cool. It's really amazing that people out there know that we're kind of stranded here in Malibu," Cherie Millford Smart said.The area has not seen such a destructive blaze since 1993. The blaze has left an array of hazards, including trees ready to fall, downed power lines, toxins, and water main and gas leaks.A forecast of possible rain next week would help firefighters but also raised the prospect of potential mud flows.A new fire erupted late Tuesday about 75 miles (121 kilometers) to the east in the Fontana area of San Bernardino County, but firefighters reported good progress overnight, holding the blaze to 147 acres (59 hectares).The cause of the Woolsey fire remained under investigation.Downed power lines and blown transformers have been blamed for several of the deadly fires that have burned around the state in recent years.A lawsuit was filed Tuesday over a wildfire in Northern California, where at least 56 people died in the Camp Fire that obliterated the town of Paradise. The suit on behalf of some victims accuses Pacific Gas & Electric Co. of causing the massive blaze.A landowner near where the fire began said PG&E notified her the day before the wildfire that crews needed to come onto her property because wires were sparking. 3757
