Taylor Morgan, executive director of the Count My Vote ballot initiative campaign, was surprised and then infuriated by a robocall he received late Thursday.
A recording of it says officials of his group “are facing criminal charges for forging signatures. You might be surprised to hear your signature appeared on their petition. Not only were hundreds of signatures forged, but most citizens feel they were deceived when they signed the Count My Vote petition.”
The automated message goes on to conduct a survey about whether signature gatherers were honest with him and if he actually signed the petition — all in an effort to persuade him to remove his signature from the initiative to help keep it off the ballot.
