At least six Democratic candidates have been getting "hateful and vile" phone calls, after their Republican opponents put their personal cell phone numbers on campaign mailings.
That's according to Minority House Leader Donna Lasinski.
She says it's happened in six highly competitive races, and it's getting worse as the election draws closer.
"I can't actually say on the radio the messages that have been received by my candidates, OUR candidates have had to notify local law enforcement of these messages."
A spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party said in a statement, quote, "we are utilizing publicly available information."
Lasinski says the Democrats who have been harassed are taking extra safety precautions.
