DescriptionOregon Secretary of State Bill Bradbury has gone into the phone sex business.

Not really, but because of a glitch in Bradbury's office, Oregonians seeking information about the May 20 primary might get that impression. A letter from Bradbury in the state Voters' Pamphlet urges them to call an 800 telephone number for assistance.

Callers to that number are directed to call another 800 number that promises "an exciting new way to go live one on one with hot . . . girls" and invites the caller to provide a credit card number.

It's all because of a wrong number that appears in Bradbury's letter to voters on the second page of the state publication. The correct number that Oregon voters should call begins with 866 (not 800) and it appears in at least 11 other places in the Voters' Pamphlet.
