A barrage of automated phone calls offering false instructions to scores of election judges was "a serious attempt to disrupt" Chicago voting operations in the run-up to Tuesday’s vote, election officials said.Between Friday and Monday, an unknown number of judges — the paid partisan employees tasked with operating polling stations — received the misleading robocalls, according to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.

“Given the level of response that we received, we suspect it was a large number of people — we don’t know how large,” Jim Allen, board spokesman, said Monday.
Some of the judges received calls informing them that they needed an additional training session before they could work a polling station, board chairman Langdon Neal said. Only one three-hour session is required.

Others were told that they needed to vote a certain way in order to work, though election officials would not say which way the judges were instructed to vote.

Danny Bravman, a Republican judge who will be working Tuesday in the 44th Ward, said he received two automated phone calls — one on Friday, the other on Saturday — from a number with a 224 area code.
The recording featured a man named “Jim,” who told Bravman that he was required to attend an additional training session. Both sessions were at “very out-of-the-way locations,
A spokeswoman for the Cook County Clerk’s office said some suburban Cook County judges also received robocalls. But she added that the suburban election judges disregarded them because the information pertained specifically to Chicago judges.

Neal said he couldn’t recall an instance of this happening before in his 18 years as chairman. He added that the matter is under investigation.
