Rethug Robocalls In Wisconsin: "Don't Need to Vote"

Today is Recall Tuesday in Wisconsin, where a primary is being held to determine which Democrats will face the 6 Rethuglican State senators being recalled. And, as one has come to expect, the dirty tricks are continuing (you may recall Rethugs are running fake Democrats in order to keep anyone from getting a majority of votes, thus requiring a costly runoff). Registered Democrats report getting calls from an out-of-state outfit presenting themselves as a "right to life" group, telling them that they needn't go out to vote because an absentee ballot is on its way to them!

We're used to Rethug dirty tricks in Maryland. Last gubernatorial election, the Rethugs were robocalling to keep Democrats away from the polls ("the election's already decided; you don't need to go vote!"). Those assfarts are being prosecuted, as we hope the ones trying to pull these tricks in Wisconsin will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law as well.
