Georgia

So a lot of my text exchanges with volunteers read like this:

Volunteer: "Hi, klook! I'm (So-And-So) with (Organization). I want to make sure you're registered to vote and that you have a plan to vote for Ossoff, Warnock, and Blackman on or before January 5th! Can we count on your support?

Text STOP to opt out."

Occasionally they follow up and ask me to make sure at least two friends and family members will vote -- which I always say I've already done (which is true).

Me: "Yes. Thanks for your efforts."

Me: "STOP"



Then I add their phone number to a Contact I've labeled "Political Spam," which has about 150 numbers assigned to it!

Sheesh, obviously none of these organizations check anything except that you're a voter who has been identified as a likely Dem. It would be ridiculously easy for somebody to mark me in a database as a registered Democratic voter who ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS votes, in every local, state, and national primary, election, and runoff. But no-o-o-o, I have to get texts and calls from dozens of volunteers every election cycle.

Whatever, it's just a fact of modern life. I just wish they wouldn't waste so much collective time and effort on rock-solid reliable voters like me.
