[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] Robocall Article Response Request

[Mary Jackes]

What David didn't say at the meeting was that our neighbour also 
received a call, after having voted.  So that was potentially 5 voters 
in two houses who could have been misled.  We asked our neighbour if she 
would report it, but she just didn't think about it, didn't know who to 
call etc.  I was really curious though, so I googled right after we got 
the phone call and found that even before the polls closed, there were 
numerous reports of false polling information in this general area.

Mary.
