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 Sometimes the lists can be outdated.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.
For a lot of those texts, simply reply with “stop”.
The automated system will add you to the no-go list.
Next letter will just say “Hammer time”
As far as voting goes, you’re fine. I’ve lived at my current address for over a decade and still get letters for the prior resident.
The State of Pennsylvania knows you’ve moved and the spammers are just sapmmers.
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 also used to live in PA. Less than a year. I get more polical texts and calls from them than I do from my home state now
Get a new number. No really, it helped me in the same situation.
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.
This is horrifying
Verizon at least has a block by area code setting and that’s saved me a lot of headache
