 CA-36: Calls moving the election to
Wed?<http://www.politico.com/blogs/davidcatanese/0711/CA36_Calls_moving_the_election_to_Wed.html#>

This was inevitable: An early complaint of voter suppression in California's
special House election.

Janice Hahn's campaign has filed a complaint with the state Attorney General
to investigate "several reports" of calls to voters that Tuesday's election
had been moved to Wednesday.

According to Hahn's attorney, other voters received calls including
"incorrect polling information."

One voter received a call Monday morning saying, "Called to let you
know that the election has been moved to Wednesday, per Janice Hahn's
request.  Thanks, bye."

Election day complaints are fairly routine, but are often dropped if the
candidate goes on to win.

Hahn's campaign is, predictably, blaming Craig Huey supporters for the
calls.  But they don't have any evidence other than calls to their office
from voters relaying details about the calls.
