Jim HuntFormer Gov. Jim Hunt is robocalling voters too.

An automated call featuring a recording of the four-term governor encourages voters to volunteer for Democratic candidates.

"We all need to work together to win these very close elections and turn North Carolina blue," he says.

Hunt then encourages voters to sign up for the party's Constructing Victory online program, which connects voters with their neighbors to make calls or visits on behalf of Democrats.

Correction: Dome incorrectly interpreted the call as encouraging voters to cast a straight-ticket ballot. We regret the error.

The script after the jump.

This man has ruined the NC Court system, giving us rule in NC by attorneys; ruined the Governor's post by giving us endless term of office for wretched governors; given us a governor with veto powers--and in numerous ways has tampered with the finest State Constitution ever written by using buzz words on rural democrats: he is an unthinkable menace. Everything he ever instituted should be repealed. NC has become a lawyerocracy; the people having no control of their courts or State House because of this man.

I enjoyed my robocall from Jim Hunt. I wouldn't enjoy just any ole Robo-call, but it was pleasant to hear ole' Jimbo's voice comin' at me all full of conviction.

The only reason I didn't listen to the whole thing was that I had something on the stove and got kind of bored.

But he's always welcome to call me back.
