Do “robo calls” convince you to vote for a particular candidate? With the local Atlanta only a few weeks away, I keep getting calls from mayoral and city council candidates. On both my cell and LAN line [yes I still have one of those]. It’s getting old and, quite frankly, they don’t really influence me. [...]
