Josh Marshall has been all over this story

Both parties deliver millions of robocalls during election season. You’ve probably gotten the calls from both parties and many outside groups. It happens every cycle.

Only one party has a nationwide campaign to deliver millions of intentionally-harassing calls disguised to appear that they’re from the opposite party. That party is the Republican party. And the calls are funded by the NRCC — the House GOP election committee.

It’s the party of election subversion. Deal with it.

More from Kos diarist G2geek:

Desperate Republicans across the country are using robo-calls (automated dialing systems that play recorded messages) to harass voters. Your phone rings, there’s a brief recorded intro that makes it appear the call is from a Democratic campaign or related group, and then a pause, and then a recorded message. If you hang up it calls you back six or seven times or more. The goal is to make people think they are being harassed by the Democrats, and piss them off enough to change their votes. It works well enough to potentially flip some close races.

This is clearly illegal under some statutes & regulations, arguably illegal under others. It appears to be going on across the US, using the same format and methods. If we pursue this nationally, we could bankrupt the GOP.

I’m a PBX engineer (design & program commercial telephone systems), with over 20 years in the industry. Here’s what you need to know, and how we can fight back.

The GOP is literally putting lives at risk with this little stunt:

FCC regulations: automated callers must hang up when the called party hangs up.

This became an issue after robo-caller systems were preventing people calling 911 in emergencies. In some cases people died because they could not hang up and get a dialtone because the robocaller would not let go of them.

Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin is freaking out because Democrats are going to be monitoring the polls with video cameras tomorrow.

What’s she so afraid of?
