From the BBC NEWS - FBI are investigating ROBOCALLS
US election: Mystery robocalls urge voters to 'stay home'
US election: Mystery robocalls urge voters to 'stay home'
The FBI is investigating mysterious robocalls urging people across the US to stay home on election day.
Millions of voters have reportedly received automated calls telling them to "stay safe and stay home".
Americans are voting in one of the most divisive presidential polls in decades, pitting incumbent Republican Donald Trump against Democrat Joe Biden.
The origins of the calls remain unclear, and some have not specifically mentioned voting.
"There's a little bit of confusion about this one across the industry," Giulia Porter, vice president at RoboKiller, a company that fights robocalls, told the Reuters news agency.
One of the calls reportedly says: "Hello. This is just a test call. Time to stay home. Stay safe and stay home."
This call that been doing the rounds for almost a year, but became one of the biggest spam calls in the country on Tuesday, Ms Porter said.
Officials have raised concerns over robocalls in the key battleground state Michigan, including one urging residents in the city of Flint to "vote tomorrow" because of long queues.
"Obviously this is FALSE and an effort to suppress the vote," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel tweeted. "Don't fall for it."
Janaka Stucky, a Democratic voter in Massachusetts, said he had received a robocall early on election day.
"My first thought was that actually it was a municipal test call for a Covid lockdown thing," he told Reuters.
"The more I thought about it I was like, oh this actually feels really off and weird and then started to feel like it was some sort of, maybe, voter suppression effort," he added.
New York State officials are also investigating allegations of robocalls spreading disinformation and encouraging people to stay home.
"Attempts to hinder voters from exercising their right to cast their ballots are disheartening, disturbing, and wrong," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
The FBI has said it is aware of reports of robocalls but has not commented further.

Mines better. It juxtaposes two conflicting assumptions to cause an extreme reaction from liberals. Kinda like how the meme "Islam is right about women" worked
Saying "Blm sucks" is uninspired and can be easily ignored. Saying "lock them niggers up. Vote Harris" would get the liberal to spread the meme out of outrage and get them talking amongst them selves.
"How is Harris racist?" Or "how would voting for Harris lead to a more racist police force?"
Such uncomfortable questions will get some of them to do further research and get them to learn the truth.
It would also Cause infighting and division as they argue over what "lock them up. Vote harris" really means.

I hit a dispensary today. Got some flower, some shatter, and some edibles. I'm set for a month. Let come what may. I'm ready to get cozy and watch the world burn, even if I hope it doesn't.

Know what I want to do if I could? I would want to congratulate Biden on winning the 1973 race and ask him what he plans to do as a newly minted senator. This can be done if he wins or loses.
In fact we should spam sleepy Joe's social media with this. Just to see what happens.

I want to find the Decision Desk live stream Baris said he would be on.
One thing we can say for sure, there is no going back from there. A new era has begun. Hopefully it's a good one.
Brace yourself for the worst, and hope for the best.
