It does, and I believe it also exempts calls from non-profits so we still also get those fundraising calls.

I have been getting these calls consistently for the last week, from both sides but more from the R side- -GOTV effort I am sure. Last night was especially bad - I can empathasize with the woman in the article - seemed like we got a call every 5 minutes until after 9 p.m.

I also have a peeve with these calls - the speakers are often (but not always) almost monotone, and it also seems that the calls must be modified to eliminate the dead space between sentences to shorten the call duration. They make the already machine-generated calls sound even more machine-like. Personally, I question how effective they are.

On the other hand, I was able to tell a friend the other day that I had gotten calls from Newt, George Bush, and John McCain, all in the same day!
