Here‘s the latest on challenges to political calls made by autodialing systems (robocalls).

California is the latest battleground  in voters’ ongoing struggle not to be annoyed.

It’s the same story in a number of states that currently have laws on the books that restrict political robo calls: The laws are rarely enforced and actual penalties for violators are nearly non-existent. 

Shaun Dakin, who heads the national political do-not-contact registry is working to stir California’s enforcers into action.
