I spoke to her earlier today - that she and her coworkers should call the FEC.

It's CRIMINAL, it's disgusting, and it's as direct an attack on democracy as there could be.

and fraud. And I believe it is against the law for a party to send a robocall that flat out LIES to voters.

The robocall in Wisc lied, it told voters if they had signed a recall ballot they did not need to vote. That call came from Repub party itself. Heads should roll, (figuratively) and the people responsible
should go to jail

is just perfect.

That will ensure integrity of the vote.

And there is no appeals, no clemency - after you're found guilty of election fraud, it's Ol' Betsy for them. They are the lowest vile of scum, lower than Sandusky.
