Home :: Email 14 Oct 2020 My, that's a lot of mail Email I get a lot of mail from political campaigns. I expect a lot of us do. In my case, each campaign gets a separate e-mail address so I can track how much they pass the addresses around. (Nothing surprising, local passes them to national for the same party, stuff like that.) While I was supposed to be doing something else, I wrote some scripts to track the mail, per campaign. You can see the results, updated daily, at https://www.taugh.com/polispam.php. If it looks like one day the Republican presidential campaign sent me 15 separate messages, yup, they did. It's not entirely clear what their strategy is because they keep telling me that I am one of their TOP 100 SUPPORTERS even though I've never sent them a dime. posted at: 14:21 :: permanent link to this entry :: 1 comments posted at: 14:21 :: permanent link to this entry :: 1 comments comments...        (Jump to the end to add your own comment) CEO Hi John, RobinK mentioned your stats to me today and we were comparing stats on another publicly available tracker at https://sendview.io/trump-v-biden The frequency data was surprisingly consistent.
