Submission + - Voters harassed by RNCC's computer-generated calls
jodaviss writes: In his TalkingPointsMemo blog, Josh Marshall has been covering the 11th-hour efforts of the National Republican Congressional Committee to influence elections by subjecting Democratic and Independent voters in districts with key races to repeated, harassing computer-generated calls — sometimes even in the wee hours. These "robocalls" start out "Here is some important information about Candidate D", as if they are a promotion for the Democratic candidate's campaign. Most people slam the phone down, only to be called back again, and again. Since they think that these calls are coming from the Democrat, voters are being negatively influenced toward that candidate, and Democrats' headquarters are being inundated with calls by voters complaining about the robocalls.
