Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan on Election Day responded to reports of misleading text messages and "robo-calls" from around the state which encourage some voters to "wait and vote tomorrow." The messages, forwarded to the Secretary of State's office by several voters, have been sent to the U.S. Attorney's office for further investigation.

"I have no tolerance for anyone intentionally causing confusion on Election Day. Every eligible Missourian should be able to cast their ballot today, and my office will immediately respond to any reports of misinformation," Carnahan said. "I am working with local election officials around the state to make sure poll workers and voters understand their rights. Anyone attempting to deprive voters of their rights on Election Day will be prosecuted."

Under Missouri law, knowingly providing false information about election procedures for the purpose of preventing any person from going to the polls is a class one election offense.
