Well, sadly it is apparently a used tactic:
Ronald G. Shaiko, senior fellow at Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, says both Democrats and Republicans have both tried the strategy, but it's usually associated with Republicans because lower turn-out tends to benefit that party.
Shaiko says it's likely a third party is responsible for the calls.
