Hope this isn't a repost; please point me to the right thread if it is.
As reported yesterday in the Raleigh News & Observer, African-American households are receiving anonymous robo-calls with misleading information about voting. Facing South has now learned that those calls are very similar to tactics recently used in Virginia and Ohio, suggesting they may be linked to a national voter deception strategy.

I think this is more about identity theft that anything else. People should not be stupid and fill out anything that you have not asked for. I get so much garbage like this in the mail and through email. Just use your brain and do not fill out anything asking for confidential information unless you have requested it. There are slime everywhere trying to take advantage of ignorance. It's pathetic!
Facing South has confirmed the source of the calls, and the mastermind is Women's Voices Women Vote, a D.C.-based nonprofit which aims to boost voting among "unmarried women voters." What it's really all about is suppressing the black vote which would obviously help Clinton.
What's more, Facing South has learned that the firestorm Women's Voices has ignited in North Carolina isn't the group's first brush with controversy. Women's Voices' questionable tactics have spawned thousands of voter complaints in at least 11 states and brought harsh condemnation from some election officials for their secrecy, misleading nature and likely violations of election law. Now here's the good part:
Women's Voices Executive Director Joe Goode worked for Bill Clinton's election campaign in 1992 as a pollster; the group's website says he was intimately involved in "development and implementation of all polling and focus groups done for the presidential primary and general election campaigns" for Clinton.
The robo-calls group (Woman's Voices) has a lot of Clinton ties - current Hillary campaign manager Maggie Williams was on the group's leadership team a year ago. Former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta has been on the board, as well as ex-Clinton aides Joe Goode, Pat Griffin and others, and the group's president gave money to Hillary.
Gee, robo-calls aimed at suppressing the back vote, with Clinton fingerprints all over it. Looks like the slimy Clintons are at it again.
Oh, come on. We all know this is the fault of African-Americans because...because...um...
Hang on. I'll get back to you on that.
I think if one is going to vote, one should know the election process and should be able to discern between a hoax and legitimate information.
Only because I know how you, Laura, will respond to this (in a racial way, of course, based on your other posts) I'll just preempt you now and say people should be informed, regardless of race.
Of course, sanrene. And if there's a group of people acting on behalf of a presidential candidate making illegal calls targeting a specific group, and actions like this have been documented for decades, that's all par for the course.
