Reply to comment by djarvis77 in Democrats sweep special elections, affirming first Pa. House majority in 12 years by AgentDaxis

How do the volunteers choose who to call? I vote in every election big and small and get HOUNDED by the calls/texts asking me to vote…. Can’t they check my voting record and spend time on people who don’t vote, but might with reminders? It’s exhausting.

We (polling or election workers...the state folks) are not sending out texts to vote. That is pacs, parties and special interests that get voter roles and buy data.

I get hounded too. It's fucking ridiculous, i agree.

Generally though, at least with the specific party/special interests, they make sure the "text STOP to end messages" works. The people i have talked to about it point out that hounding people can lead to them deciding to vote against whoever is hounding them on principle or as a type of revenge.

Which makes sense. I don't buy shit when the advertisers annoy me.
