Dems Claim GOP Launched 'Dirty' Phone Campaign

Robocalls from Both Democrats and Republicans Causing Voter Frustration Nationwide

However, Democrats still plan to use legal means and push Republicans on an FCC regulation that requires an entity responsible for a prerecorded phone call to identify themselves at the beginning of the call instead of waiting until the end.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee General Counsel Bob Bauer said if these robocalls ID the caller at the end of the message, it is a clear violation.

The National Republican Congressional Committee has not yet responded to the caller ID issue, but Forti said, "We comply with all federal laws and regulations regarding political phone calls."

Daniel Steinberger, Ellen Davis and Matt Stuart contributed to this report.
