A number of people in Jackson and Banks counties received misleading phone calls Tuesday related to the runoff elections. Officials said they are getting reports from a number of people about calls which tell the person answering the phone that they would be inelgible to vote in November and taken off the voter's list if they didn't get out and vote in today's runoff elections.
But officials said the information is erronous and "totally untrue."
Information about the calls has been turned over to the secretary of state's office for investigation.

I also received one of these calls on my answering machine. I have saved it. It also showed up on my called ID as "unknown number". Someone needs to get to the bottom of this as I have not missed a single election since I turned 18 about 23 years ago.
