Just got polled by informed electorate

They said last months question was if the election was held today would you vote to re elect the orange maggot. 44% said yes 41% said no and 15% was undecided. This was based on 600,000 participants. Today’s question was the orange maggot nominated Brett kauvagh to the supreme court , do you support this nomination yes hit 1 no hit 2. My little fingers couldn’t hit the number 2 fast enough. That said wtf that 44% would re elect the orange maggot! But that was probably polled before the Helsinki debacle.

I received a telephone call the other day from Informed Electorate asking for my participation in a telephone political survey. They wanted to know if I would respond to a one question survey. So I said yes. They asked if I voted in the last election. Of course, I did! They thanked me and then asked if I would be amenable to future surveys. Which again I said yes.

Yesterday, I received the second telephone call from them. This time the survey question was a multiple choice question as to which political entity I trusted the most to make policy decisions, federal, state, or undecided.

This morning I received the third telephone call from an Informed Electorate representative. This time they were asking for a contribution via credit card. Since I do not provide any credit card information over the telephone, I declined to contribute. The only time I will provide credit card information over the phone is when I initiate a telephone call to a company or person I know.

The first time was about elections the second time they wanted me to donate money. Now when they call I don't answer the phone.

When the second call asked for a donation, I told them never to call again. I thought they were scamming for money and nothing else.

I was not able to find out much about them. Did you?

I don't answer my phone much these days. Has nothing to do with the orange maggot, just that most of the calls are total spam

But stopped picking up. Today I picked up the phone for the hell of it.

It was a really good recording that sounded like a real person until it came to the hit 1, 2 or 3 option. Now I realize it’s a good voice recording.

After their pleas for a donation I told them not to call me again. Of course they still do and I never answer. I believe it's just a scam.
