Is this an act similar to the ACORN trick of collecting registrations and throwing all republican forms in the trash?
We need to keep watch on this. There's an easy way to prevent it, though. Ask whoever calls/emails a loaded question that only a conservative republican can answer correctly. I do this when I call people who want my vote. For example, I'll ask, "What's your opinion on guns?" instead of a leading, "What's your opinion on firearm ownership?" The latter reveals MY opinion, the former is more neutral.
I am not sure about the legal questions of this. I do think it is clearly unethical. I suspect it is a violation of election law to make such misrepresentations for the purpose of obstructing voting.
I am just hoping that collectively we can figure this, prevent any damage, and possibly draw attention to abuses of the political system.

It seems Operation Infiltration has our right wing friends in a bit of a tizz.
You'll need waders if you hit the links.
ps. To the doofus's in freeperland - Chromahost is just my host, I'm sure they host lots of people. I wish our vast left wing conspiracy was that big, but sadly, not quite yet.
pps. Hard to believe, but there is more than one Russell in the world.
