Any problems concerning administration of elections should generally be reported to your local election board, state election official (see https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state/ for an interactive map with links to your state election official), or, if you suspect criminal behavior, your State Police or state Attorney General. The only Federal agency with jurisdiction to investigate election-related crime is the Department of Justice, which you may contact via your local Assistant United States Attorney (https://www.justice.gov/usao/find-your-united-states-attorney ) or your local office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
