This morning, I shoveled today's batch of political flyers out of my mailbox and into the recycling bin. I'd had enough, so I took action to make them stop. I walked back to my apartment, finished filling in my ballot and turned it in. This trick works in #SanFrancisco, I ?guess? other parts of California and probably other places too.
When the elections folks receive your ballot, they make a note of it. Companies that print+mail political flyers get their mailing list from the elections folks; they send flyers to registered voters who have not yet turned in their ballots. Thus, in a few days, the local billionaires should stop overstuffing my mailbox.
Probably they should have stopped mailing me flyers a while ago. ~Three weeks ago, I was pretty much on the fence between Connie Chan and Scott Wiener. After receiving a metric ton of billionaire-financed political flyers reminding me it was in billionaires' interest for me to vote for Wiener (citing articles in the billionaire-owned news site SF Standard, no less), I made up my mind to vote for Chan.
Anyhow, I guess this is my #GOtV post. Don't risk your mailbox bursting. Turn in your ballot, make the flyers stop.
