Voter information capture to be used later as replacement votes in their fake election counties. Except now it will be nationwide instead of in just 5 swing states and Florida. Repeat of 2000, 2016, 2024 election stealing hacks with better PR.

They wouldn't be so bold at this point in time surely?

Do you have a source. I don't put it past what they would do, I just can't see how something so obvious would go unnewsed?

One of many articles on election vulnerabilities and fake counties used to modify vote results.

… Or maybe he’s buying targeted ads to mobilize republican votes, aka the primary use of excess campaign funding

Let me guess, they'll only send reminders to Republicans

Oh I’m sure they’re reminding democrats too, but only in a way that sends them to the polls as unregistered voters unable to cast ballots

[insert idea I'm not publishing online because they are probably scanning for ideas with their LLM bots these days, what a nice dystopia]

Don't forget tracking votes versus all the registrations and then passing every single questionable Dem vote on to Fox and the Justice department

So does it just collect your info to then send you spam in the mail(s) and by phone? I imagine eventually it dumps you out at vote.gov?

The article says they show you if you are registered in their own files, not in the state rolls. Also they sell basically everything they collect about you.
