Call Tells Californian To Vote November 5th
Dan Daugherty, a reader in Pasadena, California, reports that he received a call on his answering machine teling him to vote November 5th.
Daugherty provided TPMmuckraker with an audio recording of the call, which you can listen to here:
Here's a transcript:
...is a message for (um) all people (um) in Pasadena. The (um) place for (uh) people in Pasadena is for you to vote at Jackie Robinson on Wednesday the 5th, November 5th. The (uh) ballot can be delivered on November 5th at Jackie Robinson.
Election day, of course, is today, November 4th.
California is not a presidential swing state and has no competitive statewide races, though it does have a controversial initiative -- Proposition 8, which aims to outlaw gay marriage -- on the ballot.
Pasadena is a liberal-leaning city, adjacent to Los Angeles.

Every now and then it's a good thing the phone company keeps local calling records.

They'll catch these people and make sure they get what's coming to them.

Isn't election tampering a federal offense?
Make an example of a few of these "people" (as she keeps repeating) and we won't get many more of these minimum wage Benedict Arnolds.
What am I thinking? Next time the Repubs will just outsource.

Well, isn't that just nice and desperately pathetic?

It's happening here in East Texas too. This "hoax" is targeting minority voters and needs to be prosecuted.
