Polling Judges in MD Receiving Anonymous Threatening Calls

So I was listening to my local NBC-4 news this morning.

And they said some polling judges in one Maryland county received anonymous calls, warning them not to show up at their polling site on election day.

3. Here is a link

Here's a link to an article about it, on the WJLA (local ABC 7) website.

This is actually more specific than what I heard on NBC4.

Basically some election judges in Baltimore received mysterious calls falsely saying their assigned polling site has changed. One judge used his caller I'D to call the number back to see who was making the call, and it wasn't a valid number. So he doesn't know who made the call.

4. Not really THREATENING phone calls though. n/t

5. How could a non-valid number show up as caller id?

What does it take to fake that?
