Nebraska: PSC investigating dirty-trick robo-calls
AP reports: The Nebraska Public Service Commission is investigating allegations about automated phone calls targeting former congressional candidate Scott Kleeb during the last days of the campaign.
The investigation ultimately could lead to allegations that federal laws were broken.
Kleeb, a Democratic ranch hand, lost to Republican state Sen. Adrian Smith in the race for the 3rd District seat.
Kleeb's offices were flooded in the final days of the race with complaints from people upset about receiving repeated, automated phone calls with poor-quality recordings of Kleeb's voice. -- Nebraska probes election calling
