Republican phone-jamming lawsuit settled in NH

BoingBoing reader Robert H. says,

The New Hampshire Republican Party hired a telemarketing firm to jam the phone lines of a Democrat get-out-the-vote effort, in an attempt to prevent their rivals from co-ordinating rides to polling places for Democratic voters in the 2002 election. State and National Republican parties have agreed to settle the case for $135,000; far short of the $4 million the Democratic party had sought.
