I've never made a political donation in my life

You can thank whoever you donated to for selling your phone number.

I've never donated to any candidate or PAC and I've been getting spammed non stop this cycle. I did finally start replying stop to all of them which I usually don't do with unwanted texts and that's slowed the daily rate a bit.

Does the Secretary of State sell voter phone numbers?

Not sure about phone numbers, but they have been known to sell a few votes every now & then.

That’s not always true . Atleast in Florida your phone number is public record if you add it to your contact info with the election office . We sent text for a local school board candidate and we used phone numbers from the election office and text all of the super voters who vote in all elections. I also went to a political campain class and the teacher said texting is the best way to reach people. It’s much cheaper then mailers and gives you a chance to interact with the voters .

I’m a registered independent and they won’t leave me alone

You know how to block numbers?

I guarantee that’s where all mine are coming from. Never made a political donation to anyone and it all started happening when we moved and updated our voter registration and we don’t have a landline at our new house.
