The Christie campaign is complaining to the state about a tactic from the New Jersey Democrats — who have admitted to making robocalls to promote independent candidate Chris Daggett.
The calls happened in Somerset County, an area where Christie should likely do very well, and where any addition in vote for Daggett would likely come more from Christie’s column than Corzine’s.
The Christie campaign has sent a letter to ELEC (the state equivalent of the Federal Election Commission), demanding an investigation into the calls and an immediate directive that the Dems stop it, on the grounds that the calls would constitute an illegal in-kind contribution from the Dems to Daggett.
Keep in mind that these calls have been done in the final two days of a campaign — meaning there’s really no way to feasibly stop them, or to undo any potential damage that they might inflict.
