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.

      Thank you!! Through this I discovered that registering to vote in one state does not invalidate your old registration…

        Steve got you, fam! I’ve been registered and actively voting in 3 states since 2020 - currently in a swing state. I was getting over 40 emails and 15 texts every day, plus phone calls each week. Last week I cancelled my registrations in the two former states by snail mail, because that’s apparently the only way they verify your signature.

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

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

    I don’t think you can stop the calls or texts, elections are a product just like everything else here and those are the ads.

    They got your info and you can’t take it back now

    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
