Will the Real Lamont WIlliams Please Stand Up? (Pro-Hillary Robocalls)

Who is Lamont Williams?

That's the question on many a blogger's mind since the story about the direct mail and illegal robo-call voter-registration drive broke earlier this week in North Carolina.

African-American voters in North Carolina received automated, anonymous phone calls from a mysterious man named Lamont Williams a week ago. The voice informed them that they would be receiving a voter-registration packet in the mail, and it asked them to sign and return it.

The only problem is that the voter-registration deadline in North Carolina had passed, and some of the call's recipients had already registered.

The North Carolina attorney general's office is investigating the incident, which it says may be illegal because the calls didn't identify their sponsors and offer recipients a way to opt out.

A D.C.-based voter-registration group called Women's Voices, Women Vote was responsible for the campaign, and has apologized for confusing voters.
