Spamming Will Not Get My Vote
Miscounts, slander and other acts of sabotage are all realities in the world of voting. Add spamming to that list. I’ve recently discovered that this seems to be a new tactic in the delegation process. Over the last few weeks I’ve gotten countless emails coming from barackobama.com. I’m not entirely sure that this is a mistake at the hands of a wrong email address (mine), but all of these messages are sent straight to the spam folder. Spam is troublesome and annoying, this really isn’t the best way to get support for a cause. Not that my say really matters in this upcoming election (I’m Canadian), but I’m making the assumption that being bombarded with messages about election candidates would be ignored by most people. I can’t really say for sure whether I’d vote for Barack Obama or not if I was American, but filling up my spam folder with this garbage isn’t weighing favourably in my opinion of him and his people.
