Did I get a scam voting notice in my mail yesterday?
It was just a post card type of thing that told all Democrats to vote by mail. The post card was postage stamped as coming from San Francisco. I was suspicious of it as I have never gotten anything in the mail supposedly from Democrats to vote by mail. My voting location is two blocks from my house so I don't have the need to mail in my ballot but I'm curious if it is a scam. Here is what it says on the back:
Dear Voter,
1. The FL Democrat Party encourages ALL democrats to request a Vote By Mail Ballot
2. Never miss an election when you vote in comfort at home.
3. Sign up early - Call (904) 630-1414
4. When Duval County Dems VBM, Dems Win!
Thank you
Lo
The above is copied exactly like the postcard except on the card it is in had written script but printed.
The thing that makes me suspicious is, one, it says Democrat Party and not Democratic Party. Those kind of things raise my fraud radar. On the front of the card there is a graphic on the left saying be a voter 0n the right where the address is it is my address but it says Valued Voter where my name would be in the address line. What say you guys? Fraud or legit?

Postcards To Voters is a group of American volunteers who write postcards to targeted voters in the hope of increasing Democratic turnout in close, key elections across the country. Founded by Tony McMullin, the group started informally in March 2017 with a handful of volunteers who wrote postcards in support of Georgia congressional candidate Jon Ossoff. By November 2018 it had grown to nearly 40,000 volunteers from every state in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, and sent approximately 3 million postcards. Volunteers write and often decorate the postcards by hand, paying for their own supplies and postage.
Although it is not clear exactly how effective the postcards are, a 2007 study showed that handwritten notes were three times as effective as machine-printed ones, and the group has supported more winning than losing candidates. Among the candidates the group has supported are Doug Jones of Alabama, who won a special U.S. Senate election in December 2017; Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, who won a special U.S. House election in March 2018; and Danny O'Connor of Ohio, who narrowly lost a special U.S House election in August 2018. A full list of races and results can be found on the group's website.
