Calls to voters claim falsely that poll locations have changed
Inside NoVA ^ | November 7, 2017 | By Alex Koma

Prince William County political leaders are sounding the alarm about fraudulent robocalls going out to local voters, working to mislead them about a change in their polling place ahead of Virginia’s closely watched state elections.

The Prince William chapter of the NAACP posted a warning on its Facebook page Nov. 6 about the calls, which have so far originated from Gloucester, Virginia, and Adairsville, Georgia. The group also wrote that it has contacted state elections officials about the robocalls, but their origin remains unclear.

Harry Wiggins, the chairman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, said he has heard from 32 Democratic Party voters in the county who have received the calls over the course of the past four days.

Prince William is broadly seen as a crucial county for Democrats this year, making the effort particularly troubling to political leaders watching turnout numbers closely in both the gubernatorial contest and the area’s House of Delegates races.

translation: Exit polls have Gillespie winning, so the Dems are making these calls to set the stage for more Russia conspiracy mongering.

Of course, only Democratic voters are stupid enough to believe such nonsense.

I thought my calls were hitting other Democrat stronghold counties, too.

This article apparently isn’t as accurate as they’d like it to be.

The Dems did this as a reason to keep the polls open later in those districts so they can make up any deficiency.

Same as Durham NC so they could stuff the box and elect Dem Governor.
