interesting tactics, MM would approve as it is honest deception
Harassing phone calls
Betty Beatty was sick and tired of getting calls about congressional candidate Christine Jennings. Over and over, she was barraged with calls that said, "I'm calling with information about Christine Jennings," and then proceeded on and on.
"They bugged us with their phone calls something terrible," Beatty told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune after the election. "With all her calls, Jennings, Jennings, Jennings, I wouldn't have voted for that woman if she were the only one running."
Thousands of voters like Beatty from Florida's 13th Congressional District were harassed with annoying phone calls that sounded like they were from Christine Jennings' campaign. The problem? Only if you listened to the end of the long call could you find out that the calls were paid for by Jennings' opponents — and made to sound as though they were from Jennings herself. In the days before the election, Jennings' opponents made between 388,000 and 1.17 million phone calls to residents of Florida's 13th Congressional District.
But Floridians weren't the only ones receiving these harassing calls. Almost identical deceptive calls with slanted "information about" candidates were made in Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, New Hampshire, California, Georgia and other states. The calls would sometimes come in the middle of the night and would often repeat over and over.
