How convoluted is that?

Julius Henson, who owns Universal Elections and admitted that his business was involved in a "robocall" that played erroneous information to at least 50,000 potential voters on Election Day, talks to media while waiting to be served papers as officials attempt to determine any possible charges of voter fraud or voter suppression.

Election Night robocall made by Democratic operatives tied to Ehrlich

The election night "robocall" delivered before polls closed instructing Maryland voters to "relax" because Gov. Martin O'Malley had already won was sent by a controversial Democratic operative who said he was working for the Republican candidate for governor.

The Sun tracked the calls to a company called Robodial.org, a Pennsylvania-based company that works exclusively for progressive and Democratic candidates. The company's owner said a staffer for a company called Universal Elections had paid for and placed the call.

The company's owner, longtime political campaign operative Julius Henson, acknowledged Friday that he was behind the call, which told voters that Gov. Martin O'Malley had been successful and all that "the only thing left is to watch TV tonight." The call was widely interpreted as an effort to suppress voter turnout, and prompted an immediate outcry from Democrats and Republicans on election day.

Henson had a different take. He acknowledged that the call was made on behalf of former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., who paid Henson tens of thousands of dollars this year, but said that it was intended to spark supporters to action.
