Mysterious robo calls telling voters today: vote tomorrow – Central Florida Political Pulse –Orlando Sentinel Reports are trickling in from people who’re receiving robo-calls today advising them to vote tomorrow.
At least two of them have come to Orlando residents, both of them Hispanic, raising suspicions about some group trying to confuse certain groups of voters into missing their voting chance, according to a watchdog group called Video the Vote.
People can vote today, not tomorrow.
One such person is Isham Padron, who lives in the Lockhart area of north-central Orange County. He got a call this morning telling him to vote tomorrow. Padron hung up before following the robo-call pitch very far.
He believes it was a voter supression tactic. He already voted, though, by absentee ballot, so it wouldn’t have mattered. But he wonders if anyone else might fall for it.
Earlier today there were reports of similar calls in the Tampa Bay area that were being attributed to the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections. Turns out the official office was making such calls. Oops.. The office’s automated equipment erroneously sent out hundreds of such calls this morning, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Hundreds of Pinellas voters get robocall from supervisor of elections saying Election Day is Wednesday - Tampa Bay Times ST. PETERSBURG — An hour after polls opened Tuesday morning, the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Office mistakenly placed hundreds — possibly thousands — of automatic calls to voters instructing them that they had until 7 p.m. Wednesday to vote.
But that is wrong. Polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Any ballots turned in after that time won’t be accepted.
The calls went out between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. because of a glitch with the SOE’s phone system. Calls were made Monday alerting voters who had requested mail ballots but had not returned them that they had until 7 p.m. “tomorrow” to get them turned in.

Early this morning, at least two Latino voters in the Orlando area posted to Facebook that they received a robocall telling them to go and vote on Wednesday November 7th. Both voters confirmed the information by phone when reached by Video the Vote.
The robocall came from the number 407-218-6005. Calling the number leads to a “Call can not be connected” message. A Google search turned up the number as being for a firm that sends robocalls for Republican candidates. One complaint can be seen here reads:
