Political campaigns can see whether you voted in every single election going back years and years. When you do not vote, they know, and the message that sends - the *ONLY* message that sends, ever, to any campaign - is that you are less worth targeting in future campaigns.

Omg don’t make me spoil my voting record so I can regain control of my inbox!

Bad news, the voter targeting universe is completely separate from the digital targeting universe (which in most campaigns almost entirely means fundraising churn'n'burn) in almost every campaign so that won't help at all unfortunately lol

Spam laws in the US are too loose, it's just way too useful to try blasting every possible email address with money requests. Really good campaigns will cross reference DVC with digital and segment accordingly but most campaigns will just blast'em, especially the kind of campaign that buys lists

The worst is when you give a healthy donation and the next day you get a “I’m begging…Just $5!”
