Best way to get people to vote for you? Don’t irritate the spit out of them with text messages.
Via Townhall:
A class action lawsuit was filed against the Beto O’Rourke campaign on Friday. According to the lawsuit, Beto’s campaign sent text messages to Texas voters without their permission, which would be a direct violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Star-Telegram reported.
The lawsuit was started by Collin County resident Sameer Syeed, who said he received nine text messages from the campaign. But here’s the problem: he never opted into receiving text message communications from the campaign.
Syeed tried calling the numbers he was receiving text messages from but he received an error or disconnected dial tones. which means the Beto campaign was using an automated system. He also tried responding to the text messages to opt out but he never received a response.
