I see the intelligentsia of the forum already figured it out. Good work guys!

I say so because I re-read those texts, and realized that I've probably sent 100 or so texts and emails almost identical to those while working on campaigns, in the context of paying canvassers for knocking on doors.

Oh so you have experience in campaigning... that changes things. You are a reputable source now. Thanks.

That's what I do for a living - I'm a field consultant on political campaigns. I've been doing it for nearly a decade.

I'm certain I've mentioned that to you before.

You're trying to impress a Knight of the Templar Order with that resume??

Well, now that you mentioned it, you have. But I was afraid to assume. For a long time now, I was hesitant to refer to you in that regard. I thought I had misread the comment you mentioned it in. Forgive me for forgetting.

oh. I misread the quotes and thought [MENTION=43268]TemplarKormac[/MENTION] said that.

Whew...

 

[TemplarKormac]

He could use any phone...you are right. He could have used a pay phone...what would that prove. People are stupid...but I don't think THAT stupid. And again, numbers can be spoofed, people can call from truncated lines, callers can block their numbers....so call back numbers would probably lead to a dead end.

Given how badly Saleem's spelling was on these texts, I doubt he'd know how to spoof a cell phone number. If so, that would be a violation of telecommunications laws...

Which law specifically?

Law(s). And here you go:

Caller ID and Spoofing | FCC.gov

But this mentions a Senate Race in New Jersey... how is this relevant?

Both "stories" - this one and the false story that Cory Booker didn't live in Newark - came from the same author, Charles C. Johnson.

Just now finished reading it. Okay then. Given that you are an expert in this field, mea culpa.

Caller ID and Spoofing | FCC.gov

You should read the law(s). Its not really relevant, but I am not 100% certain it would be a violation nor would it matter if it is...why would he care about a spoofing law if he were committing voter fraud????

Thanks for posting that though, it was interesting.

I did. Did you actually read it?

Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009

The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, which was signed into law Dec. 22, 2010, prohibits caller ID spoofing for the purposes of defrauding or otherwise causing harm. In June 2010, the Federal Communications Commission adopted rules implementing the Truth in Caller ID Act.
FCC Rules

Prohibit any person or entity from transmitting misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value.
Subject violators to a penalty of up to $10,000 for each violation of the rules.
Exempt authorized activities by law enforcement agencies and situations where courts have authorized caller ID manipulation to occur.


The FCC’s Caller ID rules protect the privacy of the person calling by requiring telephone companies to make available free, simple and uniform per-line blocking and unblocking procedures. These rules give you the choice of delivering or blocking your telephone number for any interstate (between states) call you make. (The FCC does not regulate blocking and unblocking of intrastate calls.)



Spoofing is not necessarily illegal. You should have read your link, smart ass.

That you even momentarily thought he might have actually said that is priceless, and perfectly understandable.

 

[NYcarbineer]

According to this site, and its eye witness quoted therein....Got News

According to it, some of Thad Cochran's thugs need to go to jail.

Of all places, Mississippi is liable to be in play for the Democrats in the Senate race this November.

Almost all Mississippi Republicans would like to see Harry Reid fall out with apoplexy right on the Senate floor in the middle of one of his lies.

But, a whole lot of Republicans are so angry, they will be voting for the Democrat this fall. Harry Reid just lies to them. Thad Cochran betrayed them, after they supported him for almost 40 years.

So this preacher is confessing to committing felonies why, exactly?

 

[LoneLaugher]

I'd wait on believing this story until someone who isn't getting paid for it confirms it.

It seems if thousands of people were paid to vote, someone else would be able to confirm it, right?

Nothing about this story sounds the slightest bit believable.

Nobody thought Republicans would win their supreme court case either. These allegations are heavy. Got news might not be the most reputable source, but they were the first one to break the news. They, and the pastor involved are making these allegations under penalty of perjury. I seriously doubt they would try to do this to discredit Cochran on purpose.

You are just brilliant! People would never lie!

 

[LoneLaugher]

Why so quiet? Looks like this might be a Tea Party victory after all. Cochran is toast.

Trying to feed us the cake before it's baked, again. You've developed a real bad case of premature condemnation. You keep saying your targets are well and completely screwed but you haven't finished one of them off yet.

Ahh, and as if you liberals are no different. Namely when they engage in the practice of identity politics...

You admitting something here?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Charges or no charges, being arrested in and of itself reflects negatively on anyone, especially if you are an aide to a Senator.

It does?

Spoofing is not necessarily illegal. You should have read your link, smart ass.

That text highlighted in red makes it illegal. Since spoofing can be used to commit fraud, as this guy theoretically could have done, it is illegal. By spoofing you can mislead, defraud, or even harm someone. It can even be used to commit identity theft. The bolded text in the second paragraph makes my point. Only those authorized to spoof numbers can do so. That doesn't include campaign managers. In this case, spoofing could have been a way to obtain something of value; votes, money and/or services which could harm others and break federal laws.

I can study a law once and discern it's meaning. You got it wrong. Don't try to challenge me in a legal debate. Consider yourself educated. Spoofing is wrong when it is used as a vehicle in the commission of a felony, theoretically in this case, voter fraud. Perhaps you are the one who needs to learn how to read, wiseass.

Simply sending a text is NOT a felony nor is it necessarily defrauding or causing harm you nitwit. Just like your dumbass thought that one commits perjeury when they lie to the police. You don't know law, quit pretending. You think you are intelligent...but then again, your dumbass is the one who fell for this story hook, line and sinker.
