Yes just an off the record unofficial campaign approval.

Admit it. You guys are fricking scared of Beto.

And if it was mistake from a Republican campaign, you would believe they were dumb enough to do it.
Because you’re an internet moderate.

We didn’t do it but we aren’t opposed to it.

So someone started sending these texts impersonating a Beto volunteer to make him look bad? The Texas GOP has been running a smear campaign for the last month or so pretty hard. I actually saw a Ted Cruz sign in someone's yard for the first time last week.
Plenty over here in University Park brah.

Is the only person talking sense in this thread. Do you people really believe that someone on Beto's campaign that supports him would send out a text blast to tons of people that encourages people to help others commit a felony? Nobody is the least bit skeptical that someone with ill intentions for Beto did this? Give me a break. I don't support him but you are a fool if you think a candidate would expose himself like that.

The odds of someone doing this are about as good as someone faking it.

Shouldn’t it be pretty straightforward to find the sender? As a criminal act was mentioned shouldn’t the police be able to investigate?

This is so much of the problem. I'm allowed to not like Trump and also not be a Democrat. Trump acts like a fool. Constantly. That's why I don't like him.

Among mass-texters, Mr. O’Rourke has been particularly aggressive. The campaign has used Relay, an app developed by alumni of Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, to contact millions of Texas voters with messages urging them to donate, attend local events and pledge their support on Election Day. Progressive groups have rallied behind his “texting team,” with guides and an instructional video to teach volunteers how to use Relay and Slack, a team messaging app used by the campaign. And the campaign has set a goal of texting all 3.5 million cellphones contained in a statewide voter records database.
If someone infiltrated Mr. O’Rourke’s texting team and sent messages to his supporters encouraging illegal voting, it would mark one of the first notable acts of political sabotage involving text messages. A call to the number that sent the suspicious messages returned an automated message from Relay, the texting app used by the O’Rourke campaign. LINK
