It seems some people are surprised that they were able to buy data on who voted and how they lean.<p>I wasn't surprised because I worked on a campaign before. It's ridiculous how much information you can get about voters for not a lot of money.<p>You can get their phone number and email address that they provided with their voter registration, and the do not call list does not even apply (nor the do not spam list). You can call and email with reckless abandon.<p>It's kinda crazy how basically every law meant to protect people from spam has a special carve out for political campaigns.
I don't really care about US elections in general, but your rules are broken. Here are interesting bits:<p>How do you know who didn’t vote?<p>We formed a Super PAC and bought the personal voting records of every American citizen from a data broker we found on the internet. It’s pretty fucked up.<p>How do you know who’s “blue leaning”?<p>We got your partisan lean from the same data broker who sold us your voting history. You wouldn’t believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff. So fucked up!<p>This rules. Can I give you more than $7.99?<p>If you agree with us that this is a pretty good idea, you can donate as much as you want during checkout for your 2024 Election Pack. Literally no limit, because we’re a Super PAC. This is the kind of crazy shit that happens when the Supreme Court rules that “money is speech” and corporations can spend unlimited amounts of cash influencing elections. If you want to make a very large donation, please email us and we'll work it out.
Not a lot of people just how much voter data is available out there and how easy it is to check if someone voted and their party affiliation.<p>On a side note, if folks are interested in US politics humor/election party card games, I'd also check out democrazy.com
There is really any mystery as to why half the voters don't vote?<p>Unless you live in one of the half dozen "swing states", your vote is just a symbolic gesture with little chance of impacting the overall outcome.
