I do believe that "hang-up" calls to a boiler-room making outgoing calls as fast as they possibly can would have negligible effect.........in fact, unless the incoming call happened to catch a line that wasn't in use it would only get a busy signal and therefore require redialing.

I can't help but think this is a lot of hooey over nothing.

The Dems are pissed off that their efforts to commit voter fraud were hampered by have busy phone lines. I'm sure that without our opposition the Dems would have been able to pass out far more 'walking around money' during their 'get out the vote' campaign.

Technically, had the operatives just programmed computer modems to dial the numbers repeatedly or have a fax machine sending blank pages over and over again they could have more plausibly done this instead of just calling and hanging up which gives you no plausible defense.
