Congressional candidates cry foul play

With less than four days to go until Election Day, one candidate is accusing the Republican party of sending harassing phone calls.
Congressional Candidate Nancy Boyda says she's received complaints about people receiving calls. They are automated, or ROBO phone calls they believe are coming from her campaign. Boyda says the repeated calls are actually coming from the National Republican Congressional Committee. However, Ryun's campaign manager Jeffrey Black says Republicans aren't making the calls.
"It's just tampering, tampering with the election” says Boyda.
"It's just another example of Boyda playing fast with the truth; she's trying to insulate herself in the numerous complaints we have received” says Black.

This is an example of one-sided reporting.. Ryun's campaign office is permitted to accuse Boyda of lying, and deny her charges, without further investigation or comment.
In fact, this is occurring in 20 closely contested Congressional districts all over the country, and was easily traced back to the NRCC via their expenditures and the organization to whom they contracted the calling. More here: http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/001.... This should be easily verifiable by trivial investigation.
It's not right to use this kind of misleading scam to change or suppress voting, nor is it right to let the perpetrators off the hook without even checking up on the charges.
Some Republican candidates have acknowledged and protested against these tactics, but Mr. Ryun chooses to use it as a lying slam against his competition.
Can we just have an honest election, please?
