A few minutes ago somebody rang my doorbell. And I didn’t answer it because I was here. Then there was knocking. I worried it was my elderly next door neighbor having some kind of issue. If I didn’t answer - I’d feel guilty. As I went to the door through the window I could see it was an old couple I didn’t know. Great. A few weeks ago the Mormons also did the shtick where they ring the doorbell and knocked too. I might put up a “no soliciting” sign. I really hate this shit.
When I opened the door there was a package right there. I really wondered what was up. It turned out they it that out of the rain and they were with the democratic party. After a few seconds I let them know I wasn’t interested and I thanked them for moving my package. So far - no story.
Then I went out to my mailbox and there was a handwritten postcard in cursive with a stamp and a postmark and my address also handwritten.
Dear InevitableSwing,
Thank you for being a voter. Who you vote for is private, but whether you wrote is public record. Please vote in the Tues Nov 5 election.

I’m mystified how the postcard has a postmark. Maybe it’s fake? The couple’s efforts annoyed me and sort of creeped me out.

I just realized I was so freaked out - I missed a possible obvious solution to the postcard mystery. It was dumb luck. Maybe they sent it yesterday or two days ago. (1) I happened to get the postcard in the mail today. (2) They happened to show up after my mail was delivered and not before.

If the mail carrier didn’t put those in your box, somebody committed a federal crime.

I got one of those postcards as well and it sincerely feels like a veiled threat.
You’re living in a horror movie (just in time for halloween! 🎃) about liberals gang stalking you until you

Mood. I get annoying Jehovah’s Witnesses all the time since their church is close to my neighborhood. I always opt against the “no soliciting” sign since I don’t want to feel like a
crank or whatever. Plus, I feel like the religious and political door knockers will just ignore it since they’re not “selling” something.Thank you for being a voter. Who you vote for is private, but whether you wrote is public record. Please vote in the Tues Nov 5 election.
This is what liberals do for organizing - look up your name on the public voting record and bother you until you

I meant one of these.
I feel like religious evangelists have so little shame and think they’re seriously on a mission from god that they’d ignore something like that lol
They don’t do it to everybody, just whoever is on their targets list. There’s a voter file with a “Dem Score” for each person based on voting history, party registration, and then a bunch of consumer data the DNC pays for. There’s a “turnout score” for estimating how likely people are to vote.
Typical GOTV universe starts by narrowing down to people between 50-70 on support and 70+ on turnout scores.
Congrats, OP! You’re on the GOTV list… enjoy getting harassed endlessly until you vote
Sounds like a threat to me.
Post election postcard?..
Dear InevitableSwing,
Who you vote for is private, but whether you wrote is public record. You did not vote even after we politely asked you do. Expect another visit.

They’ve been printing post cards to look handwritten for a while. Some are pretty convincing.
Some people actually hand write these too. Old people love wasting their time doing this.
I got a weird postcard from the dems too.
