Both my wife and I have gotten robopolled on our cell phones – nothing new as the straw poll is in a few days and she and I are 515 residents. What's odd about this poll is that the caller ID and the caller do not identify themselves, and it's not even a recorded voice or campaign call. The voice is completely computer synthesized, and it simply says that, 'This is a poll for the 2012 presidential campaign. Who would you vote for? Obama, Bachmann, Gingrich, ect.'
Who else has gotten called? Does anyone know anything? Isn't this a violation of election law?

I've gotten a few robocalls
in the last couple of weeks from some outfit wondering whether I am registered to vote, would I participate in the Ames straw poll, would I support Pawlenty, Bachmann, Paul, etc. Then they ask whether I would change my vote if Sarah Palin or Rick Perry entered the race. That call did give a phone number at the end, though.
I haven’t received any call like what you are describing. Do you mean that your caller ID doesn’t display any number at all?
