Hot line at the hotline

Whoops!

Indiana voters who had questions about mayoral primaries may have been surprised when they were offered "stimulating conversation" instead.

The Elkhart Truth reports that the Indiana Secretary of State's Office initially included the wrong number in a news release about the Hoosier Voter Hotline that was activated for Tuesday's primaries. Instead of a 1-866 prefix, the release listed it as a 1-800 number. People who called the number would have heard, ""For fun, stimulating conversation anytime, anywhere" and were directed to another number where they could talk to "hot" girls.

The story notes that no one has called the Secretary of State's Office to complain about the wrong number. I believe that. Who's going to be bothered by "fun, stimulating conversation" during a primary election when the alternative is boring old politics as usual? I've seen some of the ads for those talk lines on late-night Indy TV, and I have to say the women in them are hotter than hot. And I believe that, too, that they're the ones actually answering the phones. No, really.
