When's election day?

Evendale resident Poul Pederson tells the Enquirer that he received a strange call today on Issue 27, the sales tax increase to fund a new jail and public safety programs. Either the caller was misinformed and also looking at the wrong calendar, or was being deceptive, said Pederson.

Pederson said the caller gave a statement in support of Issue 27, then asked if she could count on Pederson's support "Tuesday next week."

"I said you mean tomorrow night, right?" Pederson said. "She said 'No, Tuesday the 13th.'"

Pederson said he initially thought she was rattling off a message that was supposed to have gone out a week ago. So he called the Issue 27 campaign and asked what was going on. The campaign said it is placing no live calls today whatsoever, let alone calls giving the wrong election date.
Commissioner David Pepper confirmed this.

So where did the mysterious call come from?

No one knows.

The Issue 27 opponents say it wasn't them.

"We are not putting false information out there," said campaign spokesman Jason Gloyd. Voters may recieve a robo-call from State Rep. Tom Brinkman, but no live callers, and no phony dates, he said.
