Not illegally, as I showed from your link.

If people hang up before they listen, what do you expect?

Sorry, but it is illegal. The link was talking primarily about cases that are evidence of harassment, which is against the law, but the other incidents are much worse -- threatening jail time, criminal prosecution, saying their polling places have changed, and so on and so forth.

All of them have one goal in mind: voter suppression.

I can see where the harassment may be illegal, but the calls that start out with a message like "We are calling about Tammy Duckworth......" are not.


BTW, I'm still waiting for the link that says the person who pays for hte call has to identify himself at the beginning of the call.

Just to be balanced:

This sorta stuff happens on both sides of the isle. Do we really need to pretend that it's just one side doing it? When you try and insinuate that, itjust makes people angry and then they will go hunting, and find, examples of it happening to the other side and it will go back and forth ad naseum.

or is it the fake support of Kweisi Mfume for Steele (didn't happen he supported the Democrat)
Democrats THAT SUPPORT Erlich-Steele.


Just like in 2004 I was a DEAN Republican until he went insane and dived towards the left.
Just like in the 80s, there were a lot of Reagen Democrats.
