Thing like this do more to damage their cause than to help it. I hope they figure out who did it and press charges.
A South Bend woman says someone tried to trick her into thinking she already voted.
Now St. Joseph County elections official are telling voters not to fall for the newest type of voter fraud.
“I feel really bad for my old age that’s the first time that I got scammed like that, terrible,” said the woman, who didn’t want to be identified.
She says she received a phone call from a woman claiming to be an elections official.
“This young lady was saying they’re doing something new and something different and I don’t have to go out and vote,” she said.
The caller said people could now vote by phone and asked her who she wanted to vote for.
The woman said John McCain.
She was then told her vote was cast and she didn’t need to vote Tuesday.
Election officials say if you think you voted by phone, you’re wrong.
“They haven’t voted at all. It’s some sort of scam,” said Murray Winn, St. Joseph County Board of Elections.
Winn says the phone call is a case of voter fraud.
