Funny their excuse is they bought mailing lists that had those names on them
I have worked with mailing lists for telemarketing years ago and you do not get mailing lists with pets on them now occasionally a deceased person for obvious reasons. But never pets or children.
Bet money that these are registered voters they are trying to reconnect with.

Oh and you can bet the Capitol one Credit card someone tried to use their pets name to get one probably because they had bad credit.


Hundreds of complaints have been filed in regards to the nonprofit group Voter Participation Center’s errant mailings to primarily Demcorat leaning voting blocs
The organization has been mass-mailing the forms — pre-populated with key information such as names and addresses — to primarily Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as young adults, unmarried women, African-Americans and Latinos.
Their numbers reflected 15,026 new voters being registered as of July 18.

No, Democrats Aren’t Trying To Register Kids And Dogs To Vote
So how did cats, dogs and kids get on the list to begin with? Much like direct mail companies, the center obtained commercial mailing lists of Virginia residents from various vendors. The same thing occasionally happens with credit card applications — Capitol One offered a Canadian dog that had been dead for over 10 years a $30,000 line of credit.

In my neighboring state of PA, it is the GOP who are realigning voting districts and adding new rules such as the photo ID etc to make it harder for seniors or others to get out and vote, as they figure it will help their side to win. What do we want another Florida mess?

Photo ID should be used to be able to vote.

I want people that are eligible to vote to vote and those aren't eligible to not vote.

So, any Democrats or Republicans up in arms regarding the purging of voter rolls and checking a government ID, because this seems to be out of hand IMO.

Almost every action in the US requires ID. It's ridiculous to consider that voting shouldn't require ID.

Heck, I had to show ID to get a library card when I moved last summer to a new city.
Had to show an ID to get the utility bill switched over.
Had to show an ID to open bank accounts.
Had to show an ID for my cell phone contract.

I just don't see how anyone can exist for all these years with NO ID and be able to survive.

There are lots of people running around with warrants out there IMO that vote Democrat and they can't show government ID because they would be refused or captured. There is that issue as well.

Now that's an interesting segment of the story I never considered. I guess the moral of the story is don't break the law if you want to vote.
