Update: The FBI is investigating.

The last-ditch campaign to save the Republican Senate may be underway in Virginia:
The Virginia State Board of Elections has received complaints of several instances of alleged voter intimidation and suppression in multiple localities in the commonwealth.
The Virginia State Board of Elections is investigating complaints that voter suppression tactics have been unleashed in African American and Democratic neighborhoods. They include telephone messages like this one:
“This message is for Timothy Daly. This is the Virginia Elections Commission. We've determined you are registered in New York to vote. Therefore, you will not be allowed to cast your vote on Tuesday. If you do show up, you will be charged criminally."
Other voters have been told -- falsely -- that their polling place had changed.
