Phone calls "false" says SBOE
The State Board of Elections just sent out this news release, suggesting that someone out there is trying to deter people from voting:
It has come to our attention that automated phone calls (robo calls) are being made to North Carolina households disseminating false information concerning voter registration. One version of the calls states:“Hello, this is Lamont Williams. In the next few days, you will receive a voter registration packet in the mail. All you need to do is sign it, date it and return your application. Then you will be able to vote and make your voice heard. Please return the voter registration form when it arrives. Thank you.”
If anyone has any information as to the origin of these automated calls, we ask that they contact the State Board of Elections at (919) 733-7173 or toll free 1-866-522-4723. If any citizens are uncertain about their voter registration status, they may call their county board of elections or check the State Board of Elections’ website at www.sboe.state.nc.us.
