CHICAGO The U.S. attorneys office in Chicago says it will help monitor the primary election in the city and surrounding suburbs for illegal voting activity.
A statement from the office says a telephone hotline will be set up for people to call in any suspicious activity on Tuesday. The hotline number is 312-469-6157.
Illegal activity under federal law includes trying to buy or sell votes, the intimidation of voters and the stuffing of ballot boxes.
U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon says in the statement there is no greater responsibility in a democracy than protecting the integrity of the voting process.

My husband and I took advantage of early voting, so we're not at the polls today. I hope everyone at the polls have a positive experience and a huge turnout!!
