In Pennsylvania’s 10th District, there seems to be a variation on the NRCC’s nationwide robo-calling annoyance effort.
According to the campaign for Democratic challenger Chris Carney, voters are receiving calls telling them to “Vote for Chris Carney” — if they want higher taxes, and other unpleasant results.
The Carney campaign says voters have called their office to complain of receiving the calls during dinner time, in the late evening and even in the middle of the night. A number of constituents have been upset by the calls, thinking they were coming from the Carney campaign.
The Carney camp has not heard the call, only scattered accounts from its recipients, so they can’t say who’s responsible for it — other than it’s not theirs. However, the NRCC did pay a firm called Direct Strategies for $4,000 worth of phone banks last week.
