Mush-Mouthed Robo-Calls--AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
I just got back from voting. As soon as I walked in the door, the phone rang. I picked it up and heard an automated voice. Well, I sort of heard an automated voice. I could tell it was a woman's voice and that it was a GoTV robo-call, but except for the word "vote," I could not understand a word she said.

Now, it is true that I am severely hearing-impaired, but I usually understand quite well on the phone, especially when using my amplified phone, as I was when I got that call.

But I couldn't understand anything Ms. Mush-Mouth said. Inf act, I could only hear occasionally that a voice was speaking at all!

TPTB need to make sure that those damned robo-calls are clearly enunciated and spoken so that people who do not have perfect hearing can understand them. The call had to be very mumbled for it too be as bad as it was for me.

1. Desperate last-minute effort by the Porridge Party
to stir up some votes. Doomed again, I'm afraid!

2. I can't believe they don't check those calls before using them
