Doc interviews Randy McKinney

Doc’s Political Parlor has posted an interview with Randy McKinney who is running against Trip Pittman for SD 32. Some BaldwinReport readers complained about the automated phone calls they received during the campaign. Here’s what McKinney had to say about them:

Automated calls went out with my voice on it. People thought it was from me, but it wasn’t. What happened was that several weeks ago, calls went out with a survey asking people to tell who they were likely to vote for. ‘Push this button for this candidate.’ ‘Push this button for McKinney.’ Then it would say “Push this button if you want a yard sign.” People were coming up to me saying that they never got the yard sign.

I asked my people, “Are those calls from us?” And they said, “No.” Evidently what they were doing was gathering a list of McKinney voters so they could target them in phone calls.
