WASHINGTON AP – The Clinton campaign has complained about them. So has Mitt Romney. Plenty of voters have vented, too. Those sometimes nasty and annoying recorded political phone calls known as “robo-calls” can drive people nuts – and states are trying to crack down on them.
“We’ve never had anybody say that they like robo-calls. People just can’t stand them and do consider them an invasion of privacy,” said Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, whose office is flooded with complaints from irritated voters every political season.
