Robo Calls To Democrats Add To Voter Confusion
Calls From Wis. Right To Life Offer To Send Applications For Absentee Ballots

MILWAUKEE -- Automated telephone calls to Democrats placed on a primary election day could be adding to an already confusing and controversial election day in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Right To Life began placing calls to Wisconsin Democrats stating they will be sent applications for absentee ballots for an upcoming election.

The phone calls, which were traced to a telemarketing company in Virginia, carried the following message from Wisconsin Right to Life executive director Barbara Lyons:

Hello, this is Barbara Lyons from Wisconsin Right to Life. I'm calling today to let you know that you will be receiving an absentee ballot application for the upcoming recall elections in the mail in the next few days. These recall elections are very important and voting absentee will ensure that your vote is counted and that we can maintain a pro-family, pro-life state Senate. We hope that we can count on you to complete that application and send it back to us within seven days. Thank you for your support. Wisconsin Right to Life can be reached by calling 877-855-5007.

The blog Daily Kos started with a post regarding the calls at noon Tuesday. Several other Internet blogs received reports of the phone calls and speculated that the calls were meant to suppress votes in today's Democratic primary. A Teamsters blog went as far as to call the phone calls "election fraud."

1. Aren't you lying too when you changed the name?

2. Do they think we're as stupid and gullible as they are?

This is the kind of shit that would work on them.

4. The same sort of scummy tactic is being used here in CA...

In the Special Election in my District 36, the Republican is allegedly having calls made to suppress Dem and Independent turnout.

People are being told that the election will be tomorrow. They are also being directed to the wrong polling places (allegedly).

I have never experienced such despicable tactics.

Never.

This is what they do since they have no real ideas for governing. And they're so desperate for power that they will stoop to any tactic.
