Ex-GOP official admits part in robo-calls scam

Almost a year after first being charged with setting up illegal, automated phone calls in an attempt to sway the outcome of an election, a former Aiken Republican party board member has admitted to the activity and is “deeply sorry.”

Virginia “Ginny” Allen of Driftwood Circle in Aiken is charged with six counts of making unsolicited consumer phone calls. Allen is accused of paying to have political robo-calls made to Aiken County residents in early June without properly disclosing the person behind the calls, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said at the time.

...Allen indicates in the letter that she did not act alone in the criminal, politically-motivated act but does not comment on others involved
