We had a local election back in 2004, where Candidate A unleashed a spam tsunami at text and voice numbers. Enough that it angered enough people to turn the election to Candidate B. (best as we could tell after the fact)

Candidate B, it eventually came out, was the one who was running a sock puppet "Vote for A!" campaign.
