Republicans pay damages for election day phone jamming

This is quietly going under the radar.  The Republicans have agreed to pay the Democrats $135,000 in damages because of the robo-calling incident in New Hampshire on election day:

Republicans had hired a telemarketing firm to place hundreds of hang-upcalls to phone banks for the Democratic Party and the Manchesterfirefighters union, a nonpartisan group offering rides to the polls.Service was disrupted for nearly two hours.

Trying to prevent the elderly and disabled from being able to vote -- what a democratic and freedom-loving thing to do, especially since they spend so much time preaching those ideals.  It just goes to show how far some people will go in order to remain in positions of power, even if it means disrespecting laws that were enacted by the very institution that their majority party had sworn to serve.

Just one month and one day until the Democrats take the gavel!

"This is quietly going under the radar.", they should have the press secretary have a daily "let me tell you what the politicians did last wrong yesterday" briefing. a quick 15 minutes of wrapping up who/what/when. no Q & A session...just a quick briefing, then let the news channels and papers take it from there. not very realistic but i am sick of corruption getting buried.
