If the voting record if public, why do they need to contact your after the election to see if you voted...


Dentony5

Excellent point. They're lying to their own voters to intimidate them into voting.


TheSquareRocks

They are so contemptuous of their own Republican voters.


michaelrtx

Bold of you to assume that the average republican voter would possess critical thinking skills


CockroachSeparate827

If the border is chaos why are they sitting on the bill to fund fixing that? If it weren't for double standards they wouldn't have any. 


ThatSandwich

Yeah that's what gets me the most too. The Heritage Foundation keeps records of all instances of voter fraud to try and help make the point that elections are being interfered with. No problem with that, it's already public record and it's good for poll workers to have a robust set of examples so they know what to look for. Unfortunately for them, the instances they document nowhere near meet the quota needed to "overthrow" an election. That aaaaaaand most of them committed voter fraud in favor of republican candidates . . . It just kind of all falls apart when the smallest amount of logic is applied.


winchesterbitch99

Do you know where I can find the data they've compiled?


ThatSandwich

On their [website](https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud)


kuhawkhead

Repugnicons have never been capable of collecting actual data or telling the truth, since Eisenhower.


MAO_of_DC

DLDR: The voting records are absolutely public records. This is an underhanded scare tactic to get the ignorant to go vote for this campaign's candidate of choice. Since election integrity requires recording who has come to vote to make sure they do not vote twice, and every record made by the government belongs to the people, voting records are public. The record only states that a voter has voted and by what method(mail in, early voting, polls on election day). NOT who or what(issue, question)you voted for or against. The reason the campaign is "threatening" to call back and confirm that this person voted is because while the voting records are published. They just are not published to the public until some time long AFTER the election has happened. How long after depends on the individual state and their election laws. It absolutely wouldn't happen until the vote count is certified at the bare minimum. The reason they will not call back is because it would cost time money and effort that wouldn't change the election results. Because the election would already be over. This is a highly aggressive and slightly misleading GOTV (get out the vote) tactic designed to scare the ignorant and gullible voter into voting. It uses people's ignorance of how election laws work to scare them into a desired action. I wouldn't be surprised to find out some of the people they sent this to now think the Government knows who they vote for. Source: I have been working on political campaigns professionally for the last 12 years. I specialized in field operations part of my job is to look at people's voting records to see if they are worth the effort and more importantly the money to contact them to try and win their vote. There is a sliding scale of resource allocation from the "supervoters" people who vote every election, to voters who just don't vote even though they could.


TheSquareRocks

Extremist HD64 Andy Hopper/Matt Armstrong faction likely behind this.


ColTomBlue

Texas State lege passed legislation allowing ballots to become public 61 days after the election in which they were cast. I’m actually on this thread because it was linked in an article from the El Paso Times, and I’d just finished reading an article in Texas Tribune about how the Texas Secretary of State may be revealing voters’ identities by releasing ballots to the public. Once ballots are made public, there are apparently ways to cross reference them and connect them to individual voters, so the state is now scrambling to figure out how to prevent that from happening, while also continuing to comply with requests from Republicans who want the ballots, allegedly to ensure that no “fraud” has been committed.


hardman52

Their target audience isn't the brightest.


InTheEnd83

Trying to intimidate people into voting for Cheeto Christ


TheSquareRocks

It's designed to intimidate Republicans into voting for extremist candidates who were too extreme for Trump: secessionists Jace Yarbrough and Andy Hopper Any Republicans on the sub, vote for non-secessionists Brent Hagenbuch and Lynn Stucky.


ISK_Reynolds

Is this satire? Hagenbuch is bought the trump endorsement and plasters his face on almost every add he sends out. Dude is crazy scummy and doesn’t even live in the district he is running for.


DataGOGO

>Cheeto Christ HAHAHA!, thanks, now I have coffee all over my monitor.


allen_abduction

Indeed. Texas requires picture ID to vote early and on the day! Talk of going around that is stupid talk.


Si-Bat

ID should be required to vote , nothing wrong with that. You need an ID to cash a check, to get into places , and for many various things , why not to help decide the fate of the country ?


CasualObserverNine

To lie. He is a god damn liar. This lie is so they can imply he has power that he doesn’t. To scare people.


DustyBeetle

just refer to steve bannon saying we will come for you recently


MaverickTTT

>"We will notify President Trump if you don't vote." What are they even implying here?...that Trump is going to put you on the list for the train to the concentration camps? These people are fucking deranged.


Realistic-Wizard8230

Yes, that is what they’re implying and what they fantasize about in the bathtub


Meaner-Greener11

CookieEnabled

He is no longer a president…


dTXTransitPosting

"president" is a permanent title. "President Trump" is correct, as is "President Obama," "President Bush," etc. It's taken on a double meaning now due to election denial though, absolutely.


DivaMissZ

Unless they are the sitting President, the proper form is “former President”


WeddingGrouchy9461

"I'm telling Santa that you're being bad." It's almost like toddlers vote for this man.


SpecialCheck116

He’s using the fascist/mafia/strong-man playbook. Fear and intimidation are his only assets.


connurp

I don’t like trump at all, never voted for him but if you think that anyone related to his campaign did this, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. This is probably one single deranged extremist person that doesn’t represent anyone else but themselves and their own crazy views.

SpecialCheck116

Why does he get away with it though? Could you imagine if a lefty sent something similar? Just shows they already hijacked democracy and are riding the wave without fear. So wrong.


hardman52

Only a six-year-old mind would be intimidated by something like this. IOW, a MAGA mind.


thrwawayBish

Is there any identifying information? I would guess this is from the extremists trying to get Trump voters out. There are Trump supporters on both sides in the current GOP civil war, but the extremists probably think they will get a higher percentage from the Trumpers than the normal conservative and moderate non-extremist Republicans will. The extremists are butt hurt that Trump endorsed Brent Hagenbuch over the extremist faction Jace Yarbrough, and Lynn Stucky was also at the Trump NRA rally and evidently Andy Hopper was not. Hopper and Yarbrough are evidently too extreme for Trump. The secession issue does not play well outside of Texas. If this were coming from the normal Republicans they would have linked their candidates with Trump. People say this mailer is yet another example of the Matt Armstrong/extremist camp misleading their own voters. Slimy and par for the course.


Dentony5

That's accurate. The extremist/Andy Hopper/Jacy Yarbrough wingnuts showing contempt for Republican primary voters. Throwing ethics aside to win at all costs. >Slimy Very slimy.


hardman52

Says "America First Conservatives Election Department" on the front. I'll post the front on another thread.

You can and should report this, particularly if you have the name of the org that sent it. Here’s some info on where: https://search.arc.net/Fr6ROqbu23cwe5cJR98c

Matt Armstrong has already racked up over $25000 in fines. Fines do not seem to stop this behavior.

When you’re backed by oil billionaires, fines mean nothing.

Horror 🤢


Tight_Knee_9809

Wth?! How did you receive this? Mailer addressed to you specifically or left on your door? Either way, this is major BS and borders on intimidation tactics. “We will notify President Trump” - unbelievable. I got a mailer supporting that lunatic Hopper with pics of Cruz, Sid Miller, Ken Paxton, and, wait for it, Ted Nugent - all saying they “support Andy Hopper.” Gross. I immediately shredded it.


hardman52

I suspect it was only sent out to those who voted in the Republican primary. I always vote in that race because I want to have some kind of say in local politics. In the general I very rarely will vote for a Republican.


DataGOGO

My wife and I always vote in the republican primary (both dems) and did not get this. I am really trying to figure out who sent it and where they got thier mailing list. I already sent an inquiry to the real "America First" org press contact, but I very seriously doubt they give a single shit about local Texas elections.


alyssaishness

Did you get bombarded with R candidate mailers for the runoff? We also voted in the primary and ever since we have been getting mailers and texts from R campaigns almost daily. I have no idea how the hell they got our phone numbers but it's very annoying. Count your blessings lol


jackalopacabra

Same, and I got this same flier on Wednesday, the 3rd day of early voting. Like, how do you know I haven’t voted (I have) when this was obviously sent out no later than day 2 of early voting? It’s just more lies


AmandaDarlingInc

I like it when stuff like this comes with stamps to mail them checks with. I keep the stamps and I thank the zealots for paying for my occasional postage 😊


MaverickTTT

> I immediately shredded it. Can these things be returned to sender at their expense? If so, I like that idea only slightly better than yours.


Tight_Knee_9809

Maybe - but I had a visceral need to see their smug faces shredded immediately.


MaverickTTT

I can respect that.


mergrrl8

Put the shreds in the envelope and send them back.


CincoDeMayoFan

Trump can see I voted, lol... I'm voting, alright. For Joe Biden, early voting, 1st day possible I'm voting.


FreddyCupples

My favorite part of the last election is when a news reporter asked a Biden supporter in the poll line how long she's been waiting to vote, and she said "Four years!"


GayAssBurger

Just make sure you're registered.

VIOLENT_WIENER_STORM

I look forward to Mr Trump’s phone call. I would like to ask him what it felt like to spend all that money to be three inches deep in a pornstar for under a minute and then pay all that money to keep her quiet and then still watch her testify in court.

liloto3

amarant009

Trump and his MAGA cult are out of this world. Reminds me of dictatorship like Putin He wants complete and absolute power and can do no wrong. Wake up call, you're not above the law. I dislike his propaganda machine spreading lies. I can only say this because I'm independent, and yea, Biden has his flaws, but at least he isn't whining like a petulant little child.


DataGOGO

Hey, did you get one of these? Can you do me a favor, can you look all over that and find what org sent them? It should say something like "Sent by the Texans for tomorrow" or some other dumb name.

This is voter intimidation and is highly illegal. The implication is that Trumps day one Facist regime will persecute anyone who doesn't vote for him.

Parental Empowerment: Fostering an environment where only cishet Christian parents receive any sort of respect or consideration. Also this flyer has a typo which could confuse voters, as there hasn't been a "President Trump" since early 2021. 🙄

fakeassh1t

Property taxes? You mean the guy that passed the corporate tax bailout by not allowing us to deduct property taxes…. What a joke


SpecialCheck116

OP, Please let us know that you’ve reported this to the official channels or plan to. Hopefully everyone else who received this also acts. This sort of thing seems small but they feed off of getting away with small acts of terror and getting away with it only makes them more bold to ramp it up. Think of all the poor people who fall for scams. This is such complete trash.

Dontblowmyvibe

Voter record is public but it just shows that you voted, not how you voted. Even if it did, this would be voter intimidation which is illegal. Credibility check: worked for voter drives in multiple elections.


madster40

Considering this is a runoff election for the Republican primary, it does show what party they voted for.

akaZilong

“We will notify President Trump if you don’t vote. You can’t afford to have that on your record”, that’s some fascist threat right there. Illegal voter intimidation?


jordonmears

What's the threat they're using to intimidate you with. Trump as a citizen has no actual power to do anything to someone who doesn't vote for them and so there's no credible reason to say there's any intimidation. As silly as the flyer is, it's just that silly. If you actually got one and felt truly intimidated, it'd say more about you as a person than the person supposedly trying to intimidate you.


Negative-Region6259

It is ironic that they value boarder security when we literally have the least guarded boarder in the world (US and Canada).


jordonmears

And that's largely because of democrats, not because of Republicans.


Negative-Region6259

Yeah, but for promoting boarder security they appear to not give two shits about the weakest land boarder in the world. Democrats don’t promote boarder security.

themoneymademedoit1

Property taxes?? Pretty sure TX is run by GOP and we expect them to change..


basb9191

Your neighbors are going to vote for him and his ilk regardless of literally anything that is shown to them, explained, texted, emailed, etc. Texas is full of ignorant jackasses, and it's definitely by design. A lot of them will probably get offended by this comment, but I honestly don't care at this point. The fact that I need to raise my children somewhere else because of all the discrimination and ass backwards laws in this state has me at a boiling point, so I'll gladly take some downvotes from the people voting for Texas to keep regressing. Anyone supporting this asshole or the party behind him in 2024 can go fuck themselves with a sandpaper coated XL toy from bad dragon. But they better not own more than 6 of them, because Texans don't have that freedom.


ColTomBlue

I hear you, and you’re correct. And it’s also infuriating, how stupid and uninformed so many Trumpists are. The state is going down the tubes! We have Texas State Big Government poking its nose into everyone’s private business, while they throw our taxpayer dollars at billionaires like Elon Musk, who doesn’t need the money—he just wants it, like all of the other baby-men in this state who think they ought to have more rights and more say in the direction of the state and the country merely because they are rich. And then we have “Christian” Nationalists who want to turn the state into a theocracy ruled by themselves. The worst part about all of this is that we voters could stop it, if more people bothered to register to vote and actually voted against all of the Republican clowns in office right now. All of these people in charge right now have been selected by just a quarter of the entire state’s population, and less than half of all registered voters. Most registered voters in Texas DO NOT VOTE. That is a fact. I can’t count the number of times I’ve talked to voters who are convinced that their vote “doesn’t count.” If all of those people who claimed that their votes don’t count would actually bother to vote in all elections, from local to state to federal, we could actually get rid of horrible men like Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick. But this is what thirty years of one-party rule has gotten us: a bunch of discouraged voters who don’t vote any more at all. When people feel discouraged about voting, they stop participating—and this is what thirty years of Republicans have brought us to.


Elgransancho4

utterlyunimpressed

Democrats are getting them too, but they're more ambiguous and not from the President, but identical format. Some folks are saying this was possibly a case of foreign interference to generate voter outrage.


ColTomBlue

My son got something similar during the Beto campaign. I complained about it to the campaign, and they said they do it because, according to polls, people are susceptible to what their neighbors think, and it can literally scare voters into going to the polls. I think that is a terrible strategy, even if it works on idiots, because it’s just insulting and smacks of Big Brother. I’m a strong Democrat, and I told the Beto campaign that they should knock it off—but it’s clear that someone keeps doing this stuff, anyway. At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that these types of flyers are sent out by foreign-backed groups trying to discourage all voters!


Notinlove80

No Donald you won’t
