    When I was at the local League of Women Voters office yesterday, they got a robo-call from the Republican Party of New Mexico. It bashed the Democrats in Congress for raising spending by $17 Billion in earmarks! It also said an absentee ballot application would be sent to me this week.

    I don't think anyone is registered there, and they certainly don't donate to campaigns. Maybe these calls are going to any phone number. Someone should verify this with the State Party, since their name was on it.
