What do I do if I am stopped by law enforcement while trying to cast my vote?
First, stay calm and stay safe. Second, remember that the 5th amendment affords you the right to stay silent and not answer most questions from a government official. Please note that there are some exceptions, like if you were stopped for certain traffic offenses. To learn more about all these exceptions, consult an attorney. Third, you have the right to refuse a search, but you cannot obstruct access. And fourth, take mental notes of everything so you can tell a lawyer later.
