Candidate calls annoying voters

I will be glad when Election Day passes. Our home phone has not stop ringing in the last few days. Seems local and state candidates think they can win the favor of voters by calling day and night with automated messages about their campaigns. These calls are annoying and seem to do nothing other than turn people sour on the candidates. Do these campaign gurus really think that voters are going to be swayed by these hit-and-run recorded calls? If anything, candidates are going to lose votes by pestering people in their homes with shallow political messages.
