Voters receiving misleading robo calls in Ohio
Posted: 08:45 PM ET

From CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart, CNN Supervising Producer Adam Levine

(CNN) – On the eve of Election Day, amid overwhelming public interest in the presidential race, some voters are being confronted with a sea of election-related misinformation.

Sheila Robinson, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, tells CNN that she received a robo call at her home Monday. The call informed her that Republicans would be voting on November 4 in this year’s general election, and Democrats would be voting on November 5.

That information is incorrect. The Ohio Secretary of State’s Web site is clear: Everyone in Ohio votes Tuesday, November 4.

4. I have to wonder how people can sleep at night knowing they are cheating democracy and America
Seriously.

I also wonder how people can sleep at night and look their friends in the eye, knowing they are helping to deny equal rights to all Americans.

7. Florida robo call - vote by phone

Snipes: Don't believe robocall!

> Posted by Scott Wyman at 1:53 PM
An inaccurate robocall has hit Broward County in this year’s closely contested presidential election, and it has officials at the Elections Office extremely upset.

The robocall tells voters that they can vote by phone on Tuesday. The voice identifies herself as Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes.

The person, though, is not Snipes and voting by phone is not allowed.

8. Why haven't you changed the title?
If you were really "concerned" you would change the title of this thread to something like: "Dems - you can only vote on Dec. 4" and start the post with something like "Don't be fooled by robocalls". Otherwise I would start to believe you are trying to give the wrong impression yourself. Most visitors don't read all of all posts.
