More on what we’re hearing about GOP dirty phone tricks in the New York 19th Congressional District.

Three TPM readers have reported a phone scam with a double whammy. The call purports to be for John Hall, the Democratic challenger, but makes negative assertions about Hall. If the caller hangs up, they are called again and again, as many as seven times, according to one report.

So either the recipient hears a negative message about Hall, or they think Hall is harrassing them with repeated phone calls. Either way it’s a win for Hall’s opponent, Republican incumbent Sue Kelly.

If you’re in the NY-19, let us know what you’re hearing.
