Some info about Republicans using automated dialers to harrass voters and how to fight it should you be one of the targets.

Also a reminder to go vote tomorrow.

Thanks for that!

We've been getting 1-2 calls a day from the Republicans.

I've been getting it in mail form. I registered as a Dem this time around. Who do I keep getting mail from? Republican'ts. Go figure.

Yes, the freaking phone was ringing off the freaking hook all freaking weekend, and leaving voicemails of the recorded messages.

Speaking as someone who coldcalled for MoveOn for an hour on Saturday, it's not just the Republicans.

Using actual people to call is different - the article is about automated dialers designed to call people every 15 minutes or so. I wouldn't consider live people harrassment.

Every time I think that I can't possibly have less respect for the Republican party...

At least where we live is so incumbent safe, we aren't having to deal with this kind of thing.

One of the few times that I'm glad to put my parents home phone down that are registered and large contributors to the RNC ;-) Pisses me off though but then again it's not surprising really which is truly pathetic. I'm going to vote during my lunch hour tomorrow since I have to leave straight from my day job to go do a setup for frost that'll last until at least 7 so I wouldn't be able to make it before it closed. Thankfully my job isn't htat far from my polling place ;-)

All the people signed up at DoNotCall.gov would disagree with you.

I was using harrassment in the legally actionable sense. DoNotCall.gov doesn't apply to political calls - you could argue that it should and I'd probably agree with you, but that's a different issue.
