Robocall in Mass. says election is Wednesday

Robo-call Says Election is Wednesday

"Mark Schultz was "a little dumbstruck," but not surprised when he received a robo-call at his house Saturday around noon.

The call said "Hi, I'm one of your neighbors in Holliston and ... I want to urge you to vote for Elizabeth Warren and Barack Obama on Wednesday, November 7." The date, said the call, had been changed because of Hurricane Sandy."

More last minute right-wing dirty tricks!

It is just so horrible that there are people who would play games like this. Trying to keep a person from voting really should involve jail time.
