At least part of the whole point of this is to slow down the process at the polls. ---

**DesertDog** , I also have tried answering the polls. But when I go to submit Iā€™m told the connection wonā€™t work, or something like that. I think they was 100% positive responses and Iā€™m not giving them that. ---

Well, trust me, Iā€™m not giving _any_ positive responses either. Iā€™m not hitting them all, just when Iā€™m a bit bored so we may be trying different ā€˜polls.ā€™ ---

I e been filling out these polls in a similar manner but I mustā€™ve screwed up and answered a poll I received via email. Even though I used totally fake emails on the forms, I began getting the official Trump emails. Dozens of them in a 12 hour period. Some from Donald, sone from his wife and kids, some from people like Diamond and Silk and the recovered My Pillow crackhead. Iā€™m pretty sure a lot of them were illegal, or would be if we were still enforcing laws. There were emails promising to enter me into a lottery for a prize in exchange for a donation - usually a trip where I would meet Trump -with no alternate way to enter and no info on the odds of winning. There were emails from Trump family members promising to PERSONALLY match my donation 700%, 800%ā€¦ . Then I tried to unsubscribe. The link was not only buried in the small type among several links like ā€œfind out how to give moreā€, it was the only link without a highlighted hyperlink. The link did not unsubscribe, it lead to a form you had to fill out to unsubscribe. You also had to answer questions like ā€œAre you aā€ A. American B. Socialist Then the money question was ā€œWhat setting would you preferā€ A. Send me all emails B. Send me less e-mails C. Other There was a list of senders further down in the survey and I was able to unsubscribe to all. I guess it worked because I havenā€™t received an email in 5 hours. But itā€™s all so really scammy it really must be off-putting to any possible Trump voters that arenā€™t full-fledged cultists. Anyway, Iā€™ve got time and Iā€™m going to report all this to the postal service cops. I canā€™t believe that hasnā€™t been done a million times but Iā€™m going to do it anyway. ---

I canā€™t believe that hasnā€™t been done a million times but Iā€™m going to do it anyway. Thanks for doing that. I hope it does some good. As always, oneā€™s mind turns to imagining the reactions of Republicans to any such thing being done by a Democrat. But theyā€™re absolutely fine with law-breaking, not to say grifting, by their own.
