The state of Maryland is looking for $500 in damages for each phone call, with potential fines in the $56-60 million dollar range.

In the call, a woman’s voice — later determined to be that of Russell — tells voters that “Governor O’Malley and President Obama have been successful. Our goals have been met. The polls were correct and we took it back. We’re OK. Relax. The only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight.”
