Trump Campaign ditches "voter fraud" hotline bc .........too many prank calls.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/trump-campaign-ditches-voter-fraud-hotline-after-it-was-flooded-with-prank-calls/

As President Trump ramped up his attempts to delegitimize the results of the 202o election, his campaign set up a phone bank with the intention of tracking down claims of voter fraud.

But the hotline didn’t get many leads. Instead, it was flooded with prank calls. Now, according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the campaign has taken the hotline down.

“The Trump campaign has eliminated the hotline it established so people could report alleged instances of voter fraud after it was flooded with prank calls,” Collins tweeted. “They’re now directing people to a website where they can submit complaints through a digital form.”


So, anyone have the website link?

10 years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

1. Set up some sort of hotline, urging people to email/tweet/FB them about a specific issue
2. Think they're safe speaking "truth" to their supporters and it won't get out - I'm thinking of like Romney not caring about 47% of Americans or George Allen calling someone macaca
3. Eat corn dogs at state fairs.
