Origin of Fake Election-Night Robo-Calls Confirmed
Last Tuesday, election day, some voters in Maryland were listening to a robo-call telling them that "Governor O'Malley and President Obama have been successful. Our goals have been met." That evening, we received a recording of the call in question, which you can hear for yourself at http://www.sumofchange.com/article_read.php?a=126

It has been confirmed that the fake robo-call was the work of Republican operatives on behalf of Bob Ehrlich.

1. Even the GOP couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to vote for Bob "Corrupt" Ehrlich.

3. This seems to happen every time he runs for Governor.

Special Counsel neeeded on this one. Could go much higher and be much deeper. It's called voter suppression.

4. Excellent!
I expect charges to be filed now. There is new election law in Md that makes these sorts of calls illegal.

5. Just checked and for the last 110 years, Maryland has only
had a Republican governor for 22 of those years. Sigh. I miss Maryland. I am so glad Ehrlich lost. The very last time I voted in Maryland, he was elected and I was stunned. I said OMG within 6 months college tuition will explode, services will be cut, etc.etc. and it all came true.
