RoboKiller estimates that Republican supporters sent over 216
million text messages to Americans between
November 4th and November 9th, and while the volume of these
political messages has decreased by 17% since November 3, these trends indicate that political
text messages continue to be sent at high levels.
The majority of these text messages are related to the general
election, with a number of the top messages referencing issues
around "fraud" or calling on supporters to "fight back". Below are
the top text messages sent from the Republican supporters'
registered shortcodes since 11/4:
BREAKING: If EVERY Patriot chips in $10, President Trump will have what it takes to
DEFEND the Election & WIN. 1000%-IMPACT LIVE. Donate NOW:

Democrats appear to have significantly reduced their political
texting efforts this week. RoboKiller has observed an estimated 65%
daily decrease in total political text messages connected with the
Democratic party in days following November
3rd. Total estimated political texts have dropped from an
estimated 25 million political texts per day to less than 8.5
million texts per day.
Noteworthy of the Democratic political texts is a new focus on
the runoff election for the two Georgia
Senate seats. The majority of political text message traffic
contains messaging seeking political contributions and/or
encouraging voter turnout in the upcoming Senate elections.
Joe Biden is gonna be SO
HAPPY!!! Donations are POURING IN to win the Georgia Runoffs for
U.S. Senate. If we win both these races -- Democrats win control of
the Senate. McConnell is DONE. We need 100,000 donations this week
to launch a massive Democratic Voter Turnout effort in Georgia -- and cement the Senate Majority.
Will you make a 350%-Matched donation NOW?

RoboKiller anticipates political text messages will continue to
be widely used for the remainder of the 2020 election cycle. Due to
our analysis of the widespread use of text messages this year, we
foresee even greater use of text messaging as a political tool
moving forward in future elections. RoboKiller urges Americans to
follow these recommendations when managing the wanted or unwanted
political messages they are still receiving:
- Any political text message sent to you for the first time must
provide an option to opt-out by replying "STOP" or
"UNSUBSCRIBE".
- If you request to be removed from a list or to stop receiving
political text messages, campaigns must abide by these requests. If
you continue to be contacted by the campaign, you can report these
messages to the FCC.
- If you are interested in making further political donations, be
sure to read the terms in the fine print to ensure your donation is
going to where you intend it to.
More information regarding RoboKiller's findings related to the
trends and messages outlined above are available upon request.
