  1. ❤ I WILL NEVER VOTE BLUE AGAIN❤ WHEN BIDEN IMPOSED THE AMERICANS LAST GARBAGE PEOPLE POLICY THAT ONLY MADE HARDSHIPS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE LOWER INCOME AMERICAN PEOPLE❤ JOE BIDEN IS EVIL❤ HE THINKS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE GARBAGE NOW ❤ DEMOCRATS HAVE FAILED A STOLEN FROM US AND RIPPED US OFF❤

  2. Some of these are scams

  3. I keep getting ads pop up about Arizona's issues and who they want me to support and vote for. I don't live in Arizona, and I don't care about their politics.

  4. There are no messages it's only give me money!
    Reply STOP (all caps)

  5. Tell kamahhhhhhla!!! To stop it!!!

  6. Only ones I’ve been getting are from variations of Trump campaign (at least 2-3 different numbers each day), and requests to donate towards Trump legal defense (at least 3-4 different numbers each day).

  7. Opting out can help conserve resources for undecideds, bless their hearts…

  8. Yah, reply the word stop to opt out if it’s a valid text. But if it’s a scam, don’t reply because they’ll confirm your number, and you’ll get more scam texts. And how do you genuinely know what is a legitimate campaign text and what is a scammer?

  9. I cannot wait for that to stop. Even donating does nothing to slow it down.

  10. Unfortunately, the stop command only works for that specific number every time you get another text message they use a different number. So you could just be typing stop all day long, or you could do what I do which is I block each and every number just by tapping the corner and having it blocked. But that doesn't make the messages stop

  11. I have to leave my text messages on for work, (sometimes clients not yet in my contacts). Those elections messages start at 8am and go to late in the evening. I can't wait until it's over!!!

  12. What gets me is i live in Louisiana but get messages to vote for candidates in GA, AZ, NM, Nevada. I can't vote there because i don't live there.
