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.

    For a lot of those texts, simply reply with “stop”.

    The automated system will add you to the no-go list.

    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 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

    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.

      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.
