I got robocalled. So did my 14 year old sister...

Based on my surveying tonight, the race in North Dakota is as follows:

Rick Santorum 35%
Mitt Romney 28%
Ron Paul 25%
Newt Gingrich 12%

Does the Robopoll ask if they are definitely caucusing, though? Or do those results only reflect how people would vote if they weren't too lazy to actually vote?

It just determines who they prefer. A follow up message urges them to participate and gives info on how.

Follow up phone-banks with live callers follows up and urges them to participate and answers questions they may have.

In WA, 65% who preferred RP said they would caucus for him when they were called. A lot of people obviously lied, but if only 10% of those 65%(aka 6.5% of the original ID's) did attend the caucus, it moved RP up to 2nd place in WA.

Guy on KFGO radio has been talking about the robocalls for an hour. Had a guy on saying there illegal in ND

"Some states (23 according to DMNews) have laws that regulate or prohibit political robocalls.[8] Indiana and North Dakota prohibit automated political calls."

Does that mean that the pollsters are not even allowed to call IN or ND???

All I can say is that I'm glad we didn't know this before now!

Good thing is that its only a civil penalty.. I was just reading up on this... Phew! Hopefully no one will get in trouble, and we win ND.
