Dispicable Voter Suppression Calls Hitting Republican Households in Western States

San Diego, November 4 (6:15 PM) - Dispicable voter suppression calls started hitting Republican households in California around 5 PM PST. The message left on the answering machines of Republican households reads s follows:

"This is a breaking news alert! Early returns show Barack Obama will win Florida, Ohio and Virginia, closing John McCain's only path to the White House. Obama landslide is virtual certainty. Early returns also show Democrats will have large majorities in both houses of congress, regardless of final results from western states like Colorado and California. This was a breaking news alert."

Tony Krvaric, Chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County called the messages "dispicable", and called for local Democrat leadership to immediately denounce the tactic, and demanded to know who paid for these calls. "Clearly, these calls are designed to depress Republican turnout here in San Diego County."

"We call on all Republicans to get out and vote, and our volunteers will keep calling Republican households until 8 PM, to encourage them to go cast their ballots, regardless of what is going on elsewhere in the country," continued Krvaric.
