jebbypalFighting Robo-calls
Desperate Republicans across the country are using robo-calls(automated dialing systems that play recorded messages) to harassvoters. Your phone rings, there's a brief recorded intro that makes itappear the call is from a Democratic campaign or related group, andthen a pause, and then a recorded message. If you hang up it calls you back six or seven times or more. The goal is to make people think they are being harassed by theDemocrats, and piss them off enough to change their votes. It workswell enough to potentially flip some close races. see the link for more info.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
