From ,

(CNN) – On the eve of Election Day, amid overwhelming public interest in the presidential race, some voters are being confronted with a sea of election-related misinformation.

Sheila Robinson, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, tells CNN that she received a robo call at her home Monday. The call informed her that Republicans would be voting on November 4 in this year’s general election, and Democrats would be voting on November 5.

That information is incorrect. The Ohio Secretary of State’s Web site is clear: Everyone in Ohio votes Tuesday, November 4.

Laura Jordan of the Montgomery County, Ohio Board of Elections, says she has not received reports of any calls like the one Robinson received. But Jordan also tells CNN that she has received reports of misleading automated calls giving voters incorrect information about the location of their polling places. Voters who call the county board reporting these types of calls are told the correct location for their polling place, according to Jordan.

If you live in Ohio, click here for voter information from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Web site.

CNN will be tracking voter problems through Election Day. If you have a problem or see a problem, call the CNN Voter Hotline at 877-462-6608. See what issues are a concern in each state by clicking on the interactive Hotline map at cnn.com/hotline.

Ok...lovely ppl we all know what's going to happen we are 3 1\2 hours est away from change so let the GOP say or do what ever...just remember this WWBD...what would Barack do?...a change is gonna come!!! Obama/Biden 08/12

quinton   November 4th, 2008 10:29 am ET

Here we go again...

Cris V   November 4th, 2008 7:49 am ET

I am not surprised. The GOP are trying to loose this election. Neither party wants to inherit this economy. Neither candidate can fix it, it is an economic cycle. Whom ever wins will be known as the President that ushered the New Great Depression. That is why the McCain campaign keeps making mistakes accidentally on purpose.

Desmond   November 4th, 2008 6:53 am ET

I'm a white, or as I like to call myself, an American (no hyphen needed ) and I find it a little offensive to be called "a white". So please stop being so racist and realize that there are a lot of people voting in this election for one reason only! And the fact that I don't even have to mention what that reason is says it all!

Sohrab   November 4th, 2008 6:25 am ET

Peoples are going to vote for McShamePain on Nov 5th 2012!!!because they deserves that.Too much McsamePain for America.God bless America

Steve-Las Vegas   November 4th, 2008 2:36 am ET

The GOP has become a sick and lost cause. Trying desperately to try anything to keep from losing. They think liberals are unpatriotic. Before they say anything they should look in a mirror...they just might see the face of unpatriotic behavior right before their very own eyes! We know who they are...scum!

momo   November 4th, 2008 1:48 am ET

This time four years ago In St. Paul MN as I went door to door to give people info on where their voting place was, several reported that that morning they had received a phone call telling them to go to a different polling place. Let's hope that the votes are a landslide (in Obama's favor of course) so that the "hanging chad effect" will be impotent. Get up, get out, VOTE, and take someone with you who needs help getting there. Our privilege, our right, and our duty to each other, our country, and to the world. Citizenship without borders.

Griff   November 4th, 2008 1:42 am ET

America is Dying. Your Revolution was in Vaine America. 1776-2008..
You didn't last long.... 232???

sandee in Portland   November 4th, 2008 1:40 am ET

With campaign tactics like these, it is no wonder the republican party is losing ground among the voters, and these are now more registered democrats than republicans in our great nation.

Rick L.   November 4th, 2008 1:38 am ET

You all you to check out a certain interview 60 minutes did this past Sunday Nov 2nd. It would explain, and for others, provide the proof, this display of cornered animal campaigning and inciteful hate mongering fear and smear tactics the entire world is witnessing from Republicans. Besides I think some countries around the world would love a little straight talk right about now.

dantini   November 4th, 2008 1:35 am ET

As far as I'm concerned, if Republicans themselves think they can only win by cheating, it's time to end the party. Stick a fork in them, they're done!

kudodosam   November 4th, 2008 1:29 am ET

Yeeh!! no shocker, its clear they are loosing.

Clc   November 4th, 2008 1:28 am ET

Sheila Robinson is making that up... fabrication in order to cause controversy in an unstable situation...like that will help anyone

Lisa   November 4th, 2008 1:28 am ET

I guess McCain really IS Bush! Just a watered down version. at least Bush was successful in stealing an election, McCain can't even manage that.

From TX   November 4th, 2008 1:23 am ET

Are democrats that gullible? Oh yeah, they're voting for Obama. Be that the 4th or the 5th.

Berege   November 4th, 2008 1:21 am ET

Come on Ohio Democrats and Independents!! You know for sure that there is ONLY one election day... and that is NOVEMBER 4th. It is GOP trick to try to win the state; so as Democrat and Independent, just GO OUT TO VOTE AND MAKE HISTORY ON YOUR ELECTION DAY, 4th NOVEMBER.

TAJC   November 4th, 2008 1:18 am ET

I have to agree with the reader that their should be criminal charges (prosecution). I cannot believe that anyone would stoop to this level. The human side of me would like to believe that John McCain and the Republican party would never stoop to this level, but I truly wonder.

I consider myself a moderate traditionally leaning towards the GOP, but I have voted Democrat the last 3 election and have already sent my absentee ballot (Obama/Biden '08)

I think I should just register as a Democrat....the Republican party is corrupt and their needs to be a comprehensive investigation.

Irony   November 4th, 2008 1:17 am ET

Just for the recrod, Democrats are the smarter of the two parties, as is evidenced by what the Republicans think will fool people.

Red, white and blue   November 4th, 2008 1:15 am ET

All legitimate votes sjould be counted. Robocalls should be banned. Enough said. Now vote!

Danny   November 4th, 2008 1:13 am ET

They tell you they are PRO-LIFE, real christians, best for the country but when you see the work of their hands then you realise they are children of the DEVIL!!!!!!!!! They LIE and want to STEAL another election by any means necessary. They REALLY think we are all STUPID.

REAL CHRISTIANS VOTE FOR
OBAMA-BIDEN 08' !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim Dunn   November 4th, 2008 1:12 am ET

This sort of scummy tactic has been backfiring this year for McCain, but the Republicans aren't bright enough to quit doing it. McCain was about even with Obama in the polls before his campaign dove into the gutter and resorted to attempts to slime Obama. They are about to get their just deserts!

Bill   November 4th, 2008 1:12 am ET

The plan all along has been to get the election close enough to steal. We and they know they can do it. They have done it before. It is a disgrace and ALL REPUBLICANS should be ashamed.

Obama supporter   November 4th, 2008 1:06 am ET

This is NOT FAIR!!! We need to stand up and fight back. It starts with getting Barak in office...BUT....if the repubs do end up stealing the election somehow, then we need to stand up and start a revolution because this is unacceptable!

Americans just sit back and do nothing about these things. NOT THIS TIME.

In other countries the government is affraid of the people...in America...we are affraid of the government...or just to lazy to do anything about it ourselves.

Who will stand with me...who will fight with me? If you are interested in taking a stand then email me.

my email address is tlw58@cornell.edu

We can no longer let this go on. WE MUST FIGHT!

Beth Larson   November 4th, 2008 1:05 am ET

I am from Canada.I think anyone that votes for McCain/Palin have to have rocks in their head..I have never seen anything so disgusting in my life.

Also Florida is the state to watch for fraud in the voting system.

Katie   November 4th, 2008 1:03 am ET

Wow, are you serious? That's, like, a stereotypically dirty tactic. I hope they don't get away with it.

April   November 4th, 2008 1:02 am ET

Every American should know the date that he or she is voting for any election especially Presidential Election. Any one who does not have that engrained in their cerebellum does not have any business voting. YOU MUST BE ILLEGAL ALIEN. EVEN THEY KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS.

So all of you stop being childish and crying victim and shot up and go out and vote.

Ed   November 4th, 2008 1:00 am ET

We were robbed in 2000 and 2004. I know I speak for many Americans by saying if the election is fraudulent in any way, We prepared to march on Washington and camp out. This will not and must not happen again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Eastridge   November 4th, 2008 12:59 am ET

Quick fact for you when dems took control of house they promised lower gas prices,did anyone besides me notice they did'nt deliver untill close to election day? So go right ahead and make our fuel at pump 20.00 a gallon I will walk or ride a bike!

Mike   November 4th, 2008 12:59 am ET

Why is it that as private citizens and workers that we are held to rules and standards of conduct, the violation of which lands us in jail or out of work, yet if you're in politics, it gets you elected? The Republicans (especially) love to talk the high road and take the low road: Rove, Bush, Stevens, and now McCain. And don't get me started on Palin!

Steve Los Angeles   November 4th, 2008 12:59 am ET

VICTORY WILL BE SWEET!!!!!!! THE GOP SCUM BAGS ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NM for Obama   November 4th, 2008 12:58 am ET

For starters, if these calls can be traced, the people responsible should be denied their voting rights for the rest of their lives. Take away from them, pemanently, what they seek to deny from others.

If it turns out that the calls were approved by any arm of the Republican party, whether on the local, state, or national level, the person in charge at that particular level should be charged and jailed.

Kirsten   November 4th, 2008 12:58 am ET

Dear God, I hope these people are prosecuted. This makes me sick to my stomach.

Kit   November 4th, 2008 12:58 am ET

If true, this is downright frightening.

Red, white and blue   November 4th, 2008 12:57 am ET

THese robo calls should be banned. Shameless and beyond contempt, whoever is behind them.

Chris   November 4th, 2008 12:56 am ET

The is really very unfair, Republicans are very scared so they are willing to say or do any thing to stop people from voting.

dee   November 4th, 2008 12:52 am ET

No wonder MCcain is still confident of wining tomorrow because they have the crook ways of wininig election, but this time sleeping dogs are wide awake. No stealing of votes!

Joe   November 4th, 2008 12:50 am ET

Can there be anything more disgusting? Again, if you have no ideas about how to make this country a better place for all of us ... just try to mislead people who are working for the common good. Given their awful behavior this cycle, it wouldn't hurt me to see the GOP lose every race on the ballot.

Ed C. in OK   November 4th, 2008 12:49 am ET

If you look at everything they have done in this election Republicans have just about proven they are the new communist party within America.

They have no integrity nor shame..... Religious right?....I don't think so..... I am appalled at how evil republican politicians have shown themselves to be.....

Send them to the house America!!! Vote Democrat!!!

jeff   November 4th, 2008 12:49 am ET

I want the ones responsible for an unnecessary war and looting the U.S. Treasury to face charges. Also relatively sure those engaged in reprehensible voter suppression tactics will be scooped up in the same net.

Ben   November 4th, 2008 12:48 am ET

I am so sick of the scum bag, Right Wing, cheating, McShame supporters . Death threats, Racial comments, Fake phone calls, Fake Democrats carving B's, False info, and lies, lies, lies. It makes me so mad. I wish I had a huge megaphone to call them all out. Where does it say in the Bible these actions are accepted? They're all praying for a McCain victory??????? They should be praying for themselves.

MC   November 4th, 2008 12:48 am ET

Country First?! If you believe that I have a body of water to sell you off the coast of Florida! Soon this madness will be over!

OBAMA 08

Nick the Photographer   November 4th, 2008 12:48 am ET

Oh this must be one of them office jokes like in VA. You bethcha!

soon....   November 4th, 2008 12:46 am ET

These are the kind of tricks that work when the DNC tries to turn out large numbers of uninformed voters. The democrats should worry about weeding out the stupid people.

If Obama does win, remember that he will do it without winning the white vote....so is the contention that most whites are rich...or stupid...or racist?

B. Prince   November 4th, 2008 12:46 am ET

I have a funny feeling either McCain will win and it'll be due to voter fraud. OR Obama will win and there will be a recount and then McCain will be found the winner...due to fraud. Tomorrow there will be drama.

Harrison Tettey-fio   November 4th, 2008 12:43 am ET

I am a Ghana living in Ghana.I have followed the American eletions this year through BBC and CNN and the kind of politics the GOP is practicing is comparable to the politics people in Africa practice. So tell me does the GOP and Bush have any moral rights after all of this to criticise President Mugabe and his fellow dictators like Chavez?
It's a shame American politics are coming to this. Even in Ghana the politician are doing thier best to make this election an issue based one.
I pray Americans RISE and depend their constitution by kicking the GOP TO THE BUSH WHERE THEY BELONG. GOD BLESS US ALL.

penny lane   November 4th, 2008 12:43 am ET

I read something that put the two candidates together with their policies on an article or flyer i don't know. The point is, they gave mccain a black american face and obama a white face. Then asked, now who will you vote for? Why do we have to resort to this?

not fooled   November 4th, 2008 12:38 am ET

This is subversion of the democratic process, and if people get away with this scot free, there is something seriously wrong. Lock them up

GOP masterminds can posture and delay the inevitable, but its not gonna stop them getting buried by a blue wave tomorrow.

Scott of Utah   November 4th, 2008 12:38 am ET

As soon as I read the headline I knew it was the republicans behind it. Misinformation to cause voter suppression of democrats. The "christaian, values" republican party is so crooked. They say that everyone else is going to hell, but they are the ones who would go there – if such a place existed.

Funny how you never hear about misinformation campaigns from democrats against republicans..
Oh yeah, thats because democrats aren't THAT dishonest.

Independent in Arizona   November 4th, 2008 12:37 am ET

I used to be a Republican....now they just make me sick.

jojo   November 4th, 2008 12:36 am ET

PRACTICE WAHT YOU PREACH .IF YOU ARE CORRUPT,INJUSTICE,RACIST LIKE AMERICA HAS BEEN,SAY IT LOUD, WE WILL RESPECT YOU FOR THAT.THEN YOU ARE NOT WORTH BRING PEACE IN REGIONS WHEN YOU CANT BRING JUSTICE TO YOUR OWN HOUSE. THERE ARE ELECTION OBSERVERS FROM USA IN MANY COUNTRIES BUT CANT EVEN HAVE A FAIR ELECTION THEMSELVES.
SHAME !!!!!!SHAME!!!! SHAME AMERICA.
I LOVE AMERICA BUT HATE CROOKS.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU AND YOUR DARK SECRETS. EVERYTHING IS COME TO LIGHT NOW.THATS WHY THE WHOLE WORLD IS SUPPORTING OBAMA TO BRING AND END TO IGNORANCE.
I LOVE AMERICA.BUT HATE IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO PRETEND TO BE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE ELECTIONS.

Daris   November 4th, 2008 12:35 am ET

This should be a capital offense. Seriously, you should suffer the most severe penalty the law can mete out for this sort of thing. Nothing is more sacred in America than our right to vote, and any attack on this is outright treason...which is punishable by death.

Geezer   November 4th, 2008 12:34 am ET

Send the perpetrators to Gitmo.

Harry   November 4th, 2008 12:34 am ET

Lies and deception – the Republican recipe for putting country first!
McCain must have attended the higher school of learning to have learned such advanced strategies which will serve him well as the next president. I wonder if Jesus Christ used the same strategies? McCain states that he believes in the Lord's teachings. Maybe he has no respect for his God. I wonder if McCain has any respect for himself?

bridgette   November 4th, 2008 12:33 am ET

Now that is just against the law. If that is actually coming from someone's campaign that is fraud and they are trying to throw an election. Plus they think people are stupid. This campaign has only been going on for almost two years. They only did count downs on just about every show out there. How stupid do these people think the American public are.

Desmond Sequeira   November 4th, 2008 12:33 am ET

This is the conduct of those self-righteous, so called Godly nasty people spawned by the hate and lie propaganda of the FAILIN -McBUSH, RNC venom machine. They obviously think people are stupid

Michael Eastridge   November 4th, 2008 12:32 am ET

Congratulations on electing Your great hope Barack Obama,but when he leads all of us to worse poverty then we've ever known,will you idiots still blame bush?I blame all of you because you might as well of put bin laden in office.So america all of 911 is for nothing your loved ones dying is for nothing,it saddens me to see what we have become as a nation and as people.By the way i'm not a republican,I just know all of america will fall under crooked Senators,Governors and your new idea of president Obama.So for all the families of 911 I am deeply sorry for what you've gone through and for what we will most likely go through again under the new administration who is pulling our troops out of Iraq,setting all of us up to be slaughtered like poor dumd sheep!Have you all forgotten,I never will,May god help us all because no one else will!P.S you probably won't print this because you are afraid to show the truth of things.

jim   November 4th, 2008 12:30 am ET

Vote Obama/Biden!!!! Time for CHANGE

jojo   November 4th, 2008 12:28 am ET

WHAT A DISSAPOINTING NATION,PREACHING GOOD BUT STUCK TO THEIR EVIL BEHAVIOUR AND INJUSTICE,PROMOTE PEACE AROUND THE WORLD BUT AND STILL PROMOTING RACISIM CORRUPTION AND INJUSTICE AT HOME. YOU CAN FOOL SOME PEOPLE SOMETIME ,BUT YOU CANT FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.ONE DAY THEY WILL KNOW YOU AND WILL NEVER LIKE YOU.THIS IS THE REASON WHY WHEN YOU TRAVEL TODAY SAYING IM AMERICAN FEELS LIKE A BIG SHAME TO EEVN INTRODUCE WHERE YOU COME FROM.ITS UP TO YOU AMERICANS TO CLEAN YOUR NAME.NOBODY ELSE IS GONNA DO THAT FOR YOU.

bobby   November 4th, 2008 12:27 am ET

we republicans think that we will be vindicated in the eyes of God because they are just doing what they can to get elected so that they can carry out God's plan....or at least thats how some nut job explained to me.

ldb   November 4th, 2008 12:27 am ET

When this election is over we really need to address all of the awful tricks and voter supression tactics as well as problems with machines, seriously long lines, and voter intimidation.

dtk   November 4th, 2008 12:05 am ET

This is UN Americana. Very terrifying. and who ever is behind needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. if not the government is breeding criminals, so we are at greatest danger.

karin   November 3rd, 2008 11:48 pm ET

I live in Canada but have been following the American election very closely and this message just amazes me. I do NOT understand that you people aren't outraged by this!!! Americans are usually among the ones that are sent to other countries to ensure a fair election. Maybe it's time to get someone else in the US to oversee the fairness of your own elections!!

Veteran for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 11:42 pm ET

I wouldn't expect any less.

Mike   November 3rd, 2008 11:30 pm ET

This despicable tactic is the same Republicans use for every voting cycle. They have desecrated our religion, our constitution, our morals, our votes, our jobs, and all that we have or will have. No one should be at all surprised about the level to which they will stoop. Conservative Christians my foot any sensible person watching this campaign should know they would sell our souls to the devil in order to steal an election. I didn't hear them complaining when Bush stole the election in 2000 about one party rule. They used their influence to lie, cheat, steal and shred the Constitution of the United States for their own selfish gain. America Don" Be Fooled Again take a stand Vote them out of office.

Nuwan Sam   November 3rd, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Isn't America fed of this sort of Karl Rov style dirty politics. I thought American represent a better nation. Tomorrow, we need to make sure we send a clear message for this sort of people. This country can do much better than this. This is what happen in 3rd world countries like the one where I came from. I never believed it could happen here.

Donna from Colorado Springs   November 3rd, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Does anyone else smell a republican dirty trick???????? Cheating and fraud are the only thing the republicans have left now but they're the only ones who haven't figured out that it's not working!

Mike O'Brien   November 3rd, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Nice going Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.., you just 'lost' another thousand votes because of your 'stupid' robo-calls. Talk about dirty negative attack ads, speechs and ro-bo calls. Do us 'all' a favor and go back to Arizona and Alaska. Mike in Montana

Dixie AZ   November 3rd, 2008 10:57 pm ET

Wow. The republicans never rest, do they? The GOP had better pray that elections are run honestly - not like the Florida fiasco - Americans will not stand for any more dirty tricks. Wake up the geezers of the supreme court and have them standing by.

Sue in MI   November 3rd, 2008 10:52 pm ET

I live in Michigan and got two calls from the OHIO repugs on Friday. I sent them and email and told them to stop calling Michigan. They are really terrified of tomorrow's results.

Common Sense   November 3rd, 2008 10:45 pm ET

If you are a self respecting republican and still care about values and honor,you can't possibly vote for this ticket, if they have to go so low by running a smear campaign and resorting to dirty tricks and fraud just to try to win this election. It's an sign that after 8 years, they are still up to no good and will hurt this country and the party even more.What happened to winning an election fair and square.

dittohead with forty names   November 3rd, 2008 10:44 pm ET

I think this woman is on crack. People will create all kinds of BS and stoop to the lowest levels possible. The Democraps have showed us this year. It started with Obama!

Roger from CA   November 3rd, 2008 10:40 pm ET

GOP scum!

Chela   November 3rd, 2008 10:40 pm ET

I wonder what the fine is for each time a misleading/false robocall is made? I'm sure we can come up with an algorithm to accurately estimate the amount – triple it and bankrupt the GOP.

oddlyuneven   November 3rd, 2008 10:39 pm ET

I'm not surprised at this tactic. Deception and lies to earn a vote. Disgusting.

Tarheel   November 3rd, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Thiis is happening because the Republicans don't believe they can win fairly. Thiis is disgraceful and disgusting!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   November 3rd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

FIND THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE, CHARGE THEM WITH TREASON AND SHIP THEM TO ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T ENJOY THE FREEDOMS OF AMERICANS. PEOPLE THAT DO THIS IN AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE THE TERRORIST THAT PALIN SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU'VE NOTICED MCCAIN NOR PALIN HAVE DENOUNCED THESE ACTIONS OF TREASON.

Mike   November 3rd, 2008 10:34 pm ET

How is this not illegal? The GOP should lose Ohio for this!

voter   November 3rd, 2008 10:27 pm ET

I hope after the end of this election that republicans have charges brought aganist them for disenfranchising and supressing the vote. Federal law states people should not be intimidated when voting or to vote for someone.

Bill Charlotte,NC   November 3rd, 2008 10:22 pm ET

Republican scum. There is nothing lower than this crowd of election terrorists.

samuel   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 pm ET

still remember what happened in 2004 in Florida. not a new thing though

An OBAMA Fan   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 pm ET

Nothing the Repulicans GOP does surprises me...They are so desparate to win they will stop at nothing....They will sell their mothers if they have to....

Lost in Texas FOREVER   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 pm ET

I would guess that MOST Americans old enough to vote would know that election day is November 4th and that no matter who you vote for we all vote the same day. If this call fooled anybody it was probably someone that was going to vote Republican anyway.

jude   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 pm ET

Dispicable...why are all these jokes or whatever you call them...saying republicans vote onthe 4th and Democrats on the 5th?

I guess Republicans know they will lose and they got to resort to deceitful tactics...how dispicable....if this is what the GOP has come to? This is sick....just plain sick...should be banned and fire those people who are spreading this

wakeupamerica   November 3rd, 2008 10:13 pm ET

Deception and lies is all they've got. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Typical Republican voter suppression tactics. And these are the "real Americans". Good Christians too I am sure.

Vet4McCain   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 pm ET

Stop trying to trick the Democrats! They have been duped enough this campaign.

Brian B   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 pm ET

Voter fraud! Not voter registration fraud...see the difference?

Jimmy   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Why am I not surprised?

labman57   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 pm ET

I've been saying for months that the GOP has for years taken a very Machiavellian approach to all areas of politics. McCain and Palin claim to be candidates of change, but actions speak louder than words. From the beginning, it has been business as usual. They are all about morality, but care nothing about ethics.

Gutter politics is SOP for the GOP.

Lyndon,CA   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 pm ET

Robert Mugabe can take a few pointers, not that he needed any on how to run fraudulent election.

JD   November 3rd, 2008 9:55 pm ET

This is standard election-day protocol for the GOP. I worked on a Congressional campaign last cycle and spent the entire day on the phone with the county and state boards of election figuring out how to connect with these voters and get them to their proper polls. You'll recall it was all over the papers in the days thereafter.

Shane   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 pm ET

It seems that we should expect the shameless and corrupt tactics from the Republicans to come fast and furious right down to the wire in this election. I can't believe that the perpetrators behind the misleading flyer in Virginia won't be charged. In this case, the book should be definitely thrown at whomever is behind these misleading robocalls, since this is a clear case of organized deception. Isn't it funny that in both cases, the purpose of these so-called "pranks" was to deceive and ultimately disenfranchise Democratic voters in order to benefit the Republican ticket? Something to think about when you go to the polls tomorrow, America...

Simmy   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 pm ET

Tomorrow – 333! OB08-16

Poor testament of a campaign by the Evangelical Republicans-The FIrst Church of the Republicans! I will say a prayer for you!

Turning AZ Blue!   November 3rd, 2008 9:46 pm ET

And we should be surprised that the Ohio Republican Party would stoop to this level why? Just following Virginia's lead!

Adam   November 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

Look at what the republicans have resorted to. What amazes me is that 40+ % of people still like the GOP. Where have you been the last 8 years!!!!

Brian   November 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

Typical ethics

Cindy, California   November 3rd, 2008 9:45 pm ET

If by some strange debacle of voter rigging.... McCain should win tomorrow.... we will all unquestionably know that the repubs are covert operators of manufactured deception, lies, and underhanded manipulation of the results... afterall, they have years of practice behind them.

Voting for the exceptional leader with the superior plan and the potential to be one of our greatest Presidents

I mean... this is how Bush/Cheney won in the 2004.... lies, attacks, and deception.... as well as voter fraud!

living in Ohio I can tell you that this is a ploy that the republicans use in each and every election cycle. things like this and 100% negative campaigning are precisely the reason I have not voted for a republican for some time. repugnantcans have become the party of the willfully misinformed, the completely ignorant, and the filthy rich.

Wow.... This is typical of the last eight years. Can the calls be traced to anyone? Of course they can, but will anyone be fined? Hopefully yes

Biggest, most pathetic act of shameless desperation in U.S. political history.
