Got a call today from the Martin County Democratic Party

They were concerned that as a Martin County voter I was not registered with any party. They were kind enough to connect me with the Martin County Supervisor of Elections office so I could change me registration to the Democratic Party. For a robocall it was not bad.

Two very MAJOR problems with this call - I have never lived in Martin County, Florida. I have never been registered as anything other than Democratic. I grew up in Polk County and registered there as a Democrat when I first turned 21. I have lived in Leon County since 1972 and changed my voter registration to that county once I decided I would stay here after college.

I suspect someone in the Martin County DP hit the wrong selection when setting up their robocalls. I sent them an email to let them know they are far off their target for making these calls.

It is nice to see a local Democratic Party working to get people registered as Democratic voters, though!

So you would be exactly who they want to reach. Not me, since I've been a Democrat since I could register to vote and will be until I die.
