Strange texts from GOP

For some reason the Republican party thinks I am a supporter named "Kyle". I keep getting texts encouraging me to vote by mail.

Aug 28- Kyle, The conventions have made the stakes clear: Trump is fighting to restart the economy, beat COVID, support police, and confront China. Biden's left wing agenda promises will make him the most liberal president in history. Trump needs your vote to stop him, but records show you aren't registered.

Aug 31- Kyle, Every Republican vote matters, no matter where you are voting. Skip the crowds, and vote from home! Click here to request your ballot: votedotgop.org/4E6HecE88


Sept 6- Pres Trump: The best way to ensure your vote counts this Nov is to request your ballot now: votedjt.co/4A8mzDFXb


Sept 10- Lara Trump: Did you know? Voting absentee is the most secure way to ensure your vote is counted. Safely request your absentee ballot here: absentee.co/CoteX3fm~


I find this rather odd, not because I am not Kyle, but that I live in one of those Democrat run states where mail in voting can't be trusted, according to Republicans. Is this part of a vote twice campaign?

They are doing their damnedest to dissuade states from mail-in ballots. Why is that? Could it be that Republican controlled states have difficulty disappearing ballots when they are mailed in? The vote twice thing....I think it's about after he loses the election. Creating doubt, by telling people to do the very thing they should not do. Other than voting without registering, I don't know if there is any other kind of 'voter fraud'. Plenty of election tampering done by candidates, and government officials..but voters? Next thing you know he'll be telling people they don't need to register. Just go vote.

I'm not Elaine, nor am I in SC. I also got the same messages as you but from a different number and without a name
