Alabama: State Bar denounces push poll in Supreme Court race
The Huntsville Times reports: The Alabama State Bar on Thursday condemned "swift boat" tactics that are being used against the Democratic nominee for the state Supreme Court.
The state bar said a telephone "push poll" is being used to "spread misinformation and disinformation about one of the candidates running for a seat on the state Supreme Court."
Some voters are getting "push poll" telephone calls claiming the state bar has conducted a judicial evaluation that gave Deborah Bell Paseur an "F" grade and that the bar's membership is primarily affiliated with the Democratic Party.
A push poll is a dirty tricks campaign technique in which an organization tries to influence a voter under the guise of conducting a poll. Instead, it's a form of telemarketing-based propaganda. -- State bar condemns push poll attack on Paseur - al.com
