Hundreds of Sedgwick County voters received robocalls at 6 a.m. Tuesday by mistake.

The calls were made by a company hired by Republican District Attorney candidate Marc Bennett. After the vendor's gaffe, Bennett spent hours calling hundreds of citizens to personally apoligize. He said some of the people he talked to were angry and others reacted with a sense of humor.

The calls were supposed to go out at 6 p.m.
