I've gotten 5 calls alone today, 4 text messages.

I don't even live in the same state as my area code anymore so I'm getting all these political spams for people I can't even vote for.

This is even worse. It makes me want to change my number and never list it anywhere

I’ve been getting them mostly from republicans and I have no idea how or why. I am annoyed enough when Dems text me, republicans texting me makes me real mad.

It's "legal", but my response is ALWAYS:

> "Thank you for your unsolicited message. If you contact me again, regardless of party affiliation, I will personally convince 50 people NOT to vote for your candidate. This will be my last communication."

Works every time, and has for over a decade.

It's an automated system, they will never see your response.

Even if you text "stop", that only applies to that particular election cycle.

Do yourself a favor and re-register to vote https://voterregistration.ct.gov/

I recently moved and chose to leave the phone number field blank. I have gotten absolutely zero texts this election cycle, compared to dozens in the past.
