Dirty Trick Robo Call Alleged in 13th District Primary

Monmouth County Republican Chairman John Bennett is filing a complaint with the Prosecutor's Office.

A robo call went out to Republican primary voters in the 13th Legislative District at 4am this morning urging people to vote for Senator Joe Kyrillos and Assembly Members Amy Handlin and Declan O’Scanlon.

“You have four hours to get out and vote…” the call said.  The obvious impression was that the call was supposed to go out at 4PM.
