CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – The attorney general’s office fielded a host of voter complaints Tuesday, including that some Democrats had received anonymous telephone calls urging them not to vote.

State Democratic spokeswoman Kathleen Strand said that in one instance the caller left a message on a Manchester man’s answering machine saying John Kerry was doing so well that the man didn’t need to vote.

Strand said that voters in Manchester, Portsmouth, Salem, Laconia and Concord reported getting the calls.

State Democratic Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan said the incidents had been reported to authorities, who were investigating. The attorney general’s office didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.

Meanwhile, state GOP Chairwoman Jayne Millerick complained that she received reports Tuesday morning that members of a liberal voter group called Moveon.org were trying to persuade voters to cast ballots for Democrats.

Eli Pariser, a spokesman for Moveon.org, said that was unlikely. He said his group trained tens of thousands of volunteers and made sure they were aware of the laws and understood the importance of following them.

He called the complaints part of a Republican smear campaign.

“There is always the possibility that there are a few bad eggs and we’re investigating each situation, but what this appears to be is a case of intimidation,” Pariser said.

At the St. John’s Church polling station in Concord, a member of Moveon.org initially was barred from observing because he lacked the proper paperwork. A representative of the group eventually was allowed in to observe.

“I follow the laws. It gets me in trouble sometimes, but I’m not here to make friends,” said Greg Banks, moderator of the polling station.

Assistant Attorney General Bud Fitch said his office looked into the GOP complaints and found that at some polling places, exit pollsters were wearing or carrying partisan information. He didn’t specify whether they were Moveon.org members. At the polls, Fitch said moderators ordered the workers either to remove their stickers or sent them outside.

Exit pollsters are allowed inside or outside polling places, depending on space, but they can’t wear or carry anything that associates them with a partisan group.

“Where there’s an exit route, any organization that wants to do exit polling is allowed to do that,” Fitch said, “as long as they are talking to people who have already voted.”

In Keene, Republicans were upset after vandals glued shut the locks at Cheshire County Republican headquarters and slashed a tire on a rental car that was to be used to get voters to the polls. Police were not investigating.

“Its absolutely ridiculous,” said GOP volunteer Jen Sollars. “There’s no need for this.”
