CONCORD, N.H. – State and national Republicans will pay $135,000 to settle a lawsuit involving a scheme to jam Democratic get-out-the-vote calls on Election Day 2002, officials said yesterday.

Republicans had hired a telemarketing firm to place hundreds of hang-up calls to phone banks for the Democratic Party and the Manchester firefighters union, a group offering rides to the polls. Service was disrupted for nearly two hours.

Republicans said they should only have had to pay about $4,000 – the cost of rental and use of the phones.
