[asterisk-users] Auto dialer scripts and software

[Ron Wheeler]

One of the tricks used in Canada was to call the other party's 
supporters and pretend that you are from their favorite party and piss 
them off.
You can also give them misleading information such as a phony change in 
voting location.

It appears to work since the guys who did this won the election.

If you hire a company outside your country to do this, you can make it 
hard to detect and impossible to prosecute.
