I get them from the Florida Democratic Party and Democratic campaigns in Florida. They think I’m named “Javier” and that I live in Florida, neither of which is accurate. It’s been happening since 2016 or 2017. Last week I got one that said that “Javier’s” mail in ballot had not been counted because something wasn’t signed. They don’t send them everyday, but I usually get one every week or two.

Not registered to vote and don't give out my phone number to every website I come across.

Got 1 from Bernie in 2016 and again in 2020, still don't know where they got it from.

Yup

Even though I am not voting for Biden I said I was to throw off the polls.

Yep, and no matter how many times I reply "Poli Board, bitches," the texts keep coming.

Yep. Last time I make non-anonymous donations. I get 5-10 text and email messages a day. All asking for more donations.

I get at least 5 to 10 a day. Most times they call me Charles. That's not my name. I responded a couple of times that I might actually donate if they would call me by my correct name, but they keep sending the texts to Charles anyway.

I’ve been asked to take a poll. I reply I’m voting Biden when I’m really voting Trump.

The Democrats have been texting my husband looking for me and the Republicans have been texting me looking for my husband.

He responds with MAGA 2020 and I just respond with ‘stop’ - but I have no idea where they could’ve gotten our numbers and names unless a government entity (like dmv or the library) or AT&T sold the info to them

Actually texting back "STOP" has helped.

I got a lot with Beto in 2018 but I just mocked his terrible positions regularly. They eventually stopped.

This year I’ve only gotten ones asking me to give money to GOP candidates. I just said stop and they stopped.

It was awesome getting personalized texts from Mike Huckabee, Don Jr, Martha McSally, and Newt though. Made me feel special.

Respond “stop” even to the ones that don’t mention that option. I was getting a dozen per day, and now just one or two.
