I had a text yesterday about a liberal state question wanting to know how I was voting. At the bottom of the text it said the information would be shared with the ACLU. I just hit delete.
I specifically don't answer calls from numbers I don't know. It is a hard and fast rule. I have it such that anyone not in my contacts doesnt even ring. I know I got a call from a pollster the other day as I saw it was from a state I have never received a call from. They'll only get voicemail, nothing more from me.
Hardline phone companies seemed to have given up on the residential market, and basically priced them out. Cellphone companies have only recently started to give a shit about policing their spam, as the FCC wasn't really bothering to uphold their regulations against them.
Combine the two, and you've got a recipe for disaster for polling companies: no one bothers to pick up phone numbers they don't recognize anymore. Then, you factor in their bias towards polling population centers and larger states for short term commercial reasons...
They're basically just calling a few old people in blue cities, and it's killing them.

I’ve been texted 7-8 times over the past month. I never answer. No idea whose number that is and I don’t want to get doxxed.
Numbers not in my contact list go straight to VM
