Feel like being pedantic right now
This would be smishing because it's through sms

You say pedantic. I say my dear friend i am a prince who has escaped his war torn country. I am texting you because you are my last hope. If you send me $500 I can buy my way back home and will again have access to my vast fortune of which you will be given a handsome sum.
Edit: this is hilarious if you're on shrooms too, I promise.

You would think so, but so much right wing rhetoric sounds like a phishing scam these days.

Why do you think DOGE took everyone’s personal information? They intend to fuck with the voter rolls all across the country.

What. The. Fuck. I would say send it to the FBI, but I’m guessing they have been DOGE’d as well.

757 is a newer northern VA number, so if you are not from that area it does add to the weird

u/BlueMangler 2d ago
Not new and not necessarily northern Virginia. Source, I've had 757 for twenty years, as long as I've been here, and I'm not in Nova.

u/daddysxenogirl 2d ago
then I am mistaken, they tried to assign me a 757 after years of 540 and I was like No thank you! and made the assumption

States manage their own voter rolls.

u/Purplealegria 2d ago
Not if Dumpy gets his way…they want to overhaul, regulate, and centralize it. Take it away from the local election boards and make it “government run”.
That’s when the fix will really be in.
Permanently.

Hmmm ... purge voters rolls? Nice! Asshats! Those are held by the states! They don't have control over that!

I was feeling risky, so followed the link. I took six screenshots, but I can only include one:

That's so sketchy. I was noticing the .org in the link, I think that means it's a government website, and screen shots state it's a non profit organization, so seems like a legitimate request for donations to Winred to me...

Looks like this might be the same group...initiated several trumpy bogus lawsuits in 2020

YES .. you shoulda done it without having to hold it over our fucking heads like we were responsible for this attack to begin with.
Use the tool to protect rolls from false registration and tell us it's fucking done. Quit jacking us around.

Sounds like voter suppression to me
