The amount of robocalls during this election has to be illegal.

I haven't gotten any, but I don't have a land line. I hear it's pretty bad though; someone I know says they'll vote for whoever doesn't call them.

I've taken to turning off the ringer and answering machine some nights it's been so bad here in the Seattle area.

Besides a close senate race, there are a bunch of initiatives with heavy corporate and union funding both pro and con. The radio ad slots are now 90% lying attack ads now too.

not phone calls but plenty of emails. someone thought my email was theirs (its first initial-last name) and now email notifications on my phone are dinging like im the last drug dealer in a 50 mile radius.

edit: vote for prop #! keep on supporting prop #! [insert governor/controller/superintendent/etc.] appreciates your support! -- it *used* to be a nice non-spammed account.

I wish I could train my answering machine NOT to record these calls.

neither do i.

voip line.
and unlisted number.

:twisted:

You're just lucky, I know a lot of those places have what amounts to a war dialer that dials every prefix+4 digits possible one by one in order. They'll have a dozen machines doing this all day. I have an unlisted number but I got 2 calls so far this week, and am sure I'll get more. Unlisted or not you can't hide from a war dialer.

Just one of the reasons we canceled our land line over a year ago, it rocks.

I intend to vote for whichever guy passes a bill making mass calling illegal.


I live in Virginia. Nobody is more aggressive on the voters than this fucking place. Except maybe Maryland.

How are you guys doin up there?
