Voters receiving misleading robo calls in Ohio
(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.

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.
How is this not illegal? The GOP should lose Ohio for this!
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.
Thiis is happening because the Republicans don't believe they can win fairly. Thiis is disgraceful and disgusting!
I'm not surprised at this tactic. Deception and lies to earn a vote. Disgusting.
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.
GOP scum!
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!
Did it sound like Hank Jrs. voice?
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
I wouldn't expect any less.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Vote Obama/Biden!!!! Time for CHANGE
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.
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
