"This type of behavior is more than just a dirty trick or politics as usual. It is illegal and it will be prosecuted," Davitt has said. 

Schurick maintained the call was meant to actually motivate Ehrlich supporters to go to the polls, not to keep them away.  After his sentencing in February, he said, "I believed that there were several thousand African American supporters of Bob Ehrlich who had not yet voted that day and that a call or message, as counterintuitive as it seems in hindsight, that a message such as that one would in fact motivate them to go to the polls if they had not already done so." 

The call was not successful. O'Malley, the Democrat, went on to win re-election and remains Maryland's governor.
