How do I tell Pennsylvania I no longer live there?
4 years ago I was a Pennsylvania resident and registered voter. I have since moved to another state and have switched my voter registration. I had assumed changing my registration would be sufficient however, I am on some list of PA voters bc I get A LOT (oh my god it’s so much) of political texts and calls. It’s too late for this election and perhaps it won’t be so bad next time, and I wish they weren’t wasting their time and that my inbox weren’t so full.
These organizations trade phone lists, kind of like what telemarketers do. Sometimes the lists can be outdated. Unfortunately replying "stop" to each one is the only way that's going to slow it down.
If they’re sending political messages, the number is already confirmed as matching a PA voter. Texting STOP is the way to go. If that doesn’t work, THEN mark as spam. If it gets too annoying, set up a wall of shame on Twitter. (Almost) No politician wants bad publicity.
Not entirely true. A number of them are definitely spam, but there are many organizations that do text outreach and there is definitely a person at the other end. They will remove you from their lists if you reply with stop.
Steve got you, fam! I’ve been registered and actively voting in 3 states since 2020 - currently in a swing state. I was getting over 40 emails and 15 texts every day, plus phone calls each week. Last week I cancelled my registrations in the two former states by snail mail, because that’s apparently the only way they verify your signature.
Lpt, for dmv stuff/voting stuff use an entirely separate number on another device if possible, or if on the same phone, you can deactivate that number and enable when needed.
I moved from Wisconsin a decade ago and I still get political shit from their parties. If there'sa good answer for this I hope you get it, I think this is just my life now.
I just looked myself up in the voter registrations and it seems I'm already unregistered after being gone so long. Must just be residual contact lists I need to keep responding stop to, it has slowed down. Thank you for the suggestion
