(NewsNation) — Ahead of the New Hampshire primary, voters in the state have reported getting recorded messages encouraging them not to vote Tuesday.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said it’s gotten complaints about the calls, which appear to be artificially generated to sound like the voice of President Joe Biden.
The robocalls tell voters “your vote makes a difference in November, not this Tuesday” and the number is spoofed to show it was sent from the treasurer of a political committee supporting write-in efforts for Biden.
The attorney general’s office said the messages appear to be an attempt to disrupt the primary election and suppress the vote, which is against the law.
Voters should ignore the messages and the office reminds people that voting in Tuesday’s primary will not prevent a voter from voting in the general election in November.
The state’s election law unit is investigating the source of the messages and anyone who has received one are encouraged to send e-mail [email protected] with the date and time of the messages, the origin of the call or message, the contents and any other information they have.
