    A family member has received what we regard as spam texts with political polling questions. She doesn’t reply to any of them. One of them said, after asking her if she would vote for Harris, (paraphrasing) “If you don’t reply, that counts as a No.”

    🤨

    I don’t know if it’s polling fraud or garden variety phishing stuff, but it’s something.

      Those are just designed to get you to click the link which ultimately leads to an “opportunity” to donate to the campaign. It’s just standard political marketing trash, nothing truly nefarious.
