Texting Election

With just weeks before election day efforts to reach voters digitally are intensifying.
"If there is a screen in front of you, the campaigns are going to use it to reach you, whether it's television, social media, right through your phone through text messages," says Cameron University's Professor Richard Longoria. Texts are particularly potent because the average American checks their phone about 100 times per day. Some are even calling this year "The Texting Election."
Texts from both political parties are flooding phones for voters who never signed up to receive them. The Trump campaign says it will send out more than a billion text messages by election day.
They're able to do so in part because of actions you may have taken in the past.
"Unfortunately, at some point, you probably unwittingly gave up your information," explains CNET's Roger Cheng. Whether it was for a survey, service, or retailer, often that data is sold to third parties, including campaigns that match it up with public voter information. As long as there is a human on the other end, those unsolicited texts are legal, but there is a way to opt-out.
"It's actually fairly easy. If you get a text message that you don't want, just reply "stop" and they are obligated to stop sending you messages going forward," Cheng explains. Unfortunately, that doesn't guarantee you won't continue to get texts from different numbers.

COVID Data for Pima County
Source: Green Valley Council
PIMA COUNTY NOW HAS OWN DATA DASHBOARD TO TRACK COVID: Take a look at the new website, pima.gov/cv19data. You can find out, by zip code, how many cases an area has had, how many people have died and various demographics about those people. For zip code 85614, which covers most of Green Valley, there have been 344 cases and 56 deaths. In Green Valley, more women have become sick than men but more men have died than women. Zip code 85622 has recorded 54 cases and 13 deaths. We will continue to report COVID's progress to you using this new and exciting tool. Thanks to the County Health Department for bringing this valuable data on line in a way all of us can understand!

Why did the art thief's car run out of gas as he drove away from the museum?
Because he had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh.

A car full of Irish nuns is sitting at a traffic light in downtown Dublin, when a bunch of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them.
"Hey, show us yer tits, ya bloody penguins!" shouts one of the drunks.
Quite shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, "I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross."
Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, "Piss off, ya fookin' little wankers, before I come over there and rip yer balls off!"
Sister Mary Immaculata then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior, quite innocently, and asks, "Did that sound cross enough?"
