McGee admits to jamming phones
He could face up to 5 years in prison


Charles McGee, the former executive director of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, admitted yesterday to jamming Democratic party phone lines on election day in November 2002.

McGee, 34, was the second person to plead guilty to a felony for the more than 800 hang-up phone calls that an Idaho company made to five state Democratic party offices and the Manchester Professional Firefighters Association, a group that was offering rides to the polls. The calls blocked phone lines for 85 minutes.

Earlier this month, Allen Raymond, who was president of the Virginia-based GOP Marketplace, pleaded guilty to the same charge: conspiring to make harassing telephone calls without identifying the caller's identity. Raymond admitted to paying the Idaho firm $2,500 to make the phone calls.

3. So I read the article so I could find out why he admitted to or how

he got caught because I don't think he would just come forward on his own. Also they need to find out who else is behind this and who lost an election if they did because of this!!
