The former head of a GOP Marketplace, a Republican consulting group, has pleaded guilty to jamming get-out-the-vote efforts on election day in New Hampshire two years ago. The company used computer-generated phone calls to flood phone lines that were set up so voters could call for rides to the polls. It's just one example of right-wing efforts to "block the vote" that we describe in our book, Banana Republicans. If anyone would like to create a Disinfopedia article about this scam, you can still find a copy of the GOP Marketplace website at the Internet archive.
