BETO's campaign thinks my cell phone is my daughters phone. They had to have bought college registration names and numbers for my number to be associated with my daughter.
I have had fun with them. TRIGGERING every one of them, by texting them back with a Red Pill.
Sorry #WalkedAway, has them get NASTY!

Same here, and what isn't in the mailbox gets left on the door. I've even put a sign out requesting that fliers not be left, sadly, to no avail. But no phone calls, at least none that I've answered.

With the move to mobile phones the first people reporting and blocking the new political spammer phone number warns everyone else. Going into the future the campaign industry will need a new strategy.

I'm a registered voter but you don't have to declare a party affiliation in Texas. I have not received any calls or texts from any candidates. I don't know how that happened because I seem to be the only one.

I only get texts from the person I donated to. Nobody else.

I've been getting texts, phone calls and had someone trolling door to door for their candidate.

They leave voicemails that are 2 minutes long, telling me exactly how to vote, yes on this amendment, no on this amendment, call here to get a ride, have you sent your ballot in early? It's actual people, not robocalls.

I am so disgusted with it all. I don't know how to get my name off these lists, its multiple groups.

My cell has an out of state area code of a rural district. I had one scam call from there. The landline gets more work, but I put it in another room. The voice caller ID reduces walking to check unknown numbers.

Caller ID is a Christmas present, just for election time! Best thing ever!


County Morgue, can I help you

I not only get calls...but people stop by my house regularly. My friend whose wife and girlfriend voted has people stopping by asking why he hasn't voted when both his wife and girlfriend did.

I've been getting several calls (recorded messages) and surveys (live persons) and LOTS of mail. I can't stand it and just hang up on the callers and toss the mail. I voted (by mail) around a couple of weeks ago.
