Plugged in the landline --wonder how many calls (robocalls) we will get today

We live in Virginia but we have to date avoided what I understand to be a daily barrage of calls. BTW- the Dems call in person, the Repubs have some personal calls from what I understand but mostly robocalls.

My wife's phone went into the indoor pool yesterday - long story but the establishment is buying us a new phone - so as I leave to canvass ONE MORE DAY and the storm coming I have to be able to stay in contact.

We'll see

Weeks ago....Robocalls...Polls....Just shit.....We have our phone bundled with our cable and internet package,so the caller ID is displayed on television.....All calls that show as Unavailable,out of area or private go unanswered...Well not exactly unanswered...Our phone,after 4 rings goes to our fax machine rather than voice mail,so that "squeal" ansswers..

Anyone who knows us...Most anyone we care to speak with,calls our cell #...I'll turn the land line ringer back on,on Nov.7th.....
