Hundreds of voters received automatic calls in Florida's Pinellas County, informing them they had until 7 p.m. Wednesday to cast their ballots. That, of course, is not the case.

The robocalls - which were supposed to go out Monday morning - were made today between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., according to Sunshine State News. 

"The calls were halted immediately, as soon as we found out," a supervisor of elections told Sunshine State News.

Pinellas historically swings Republican, but Democrats in the county have increasingly made their presence known.
