Pa. residents got phony texts claiming they had voted already. Ignore them, officials say.
Reply STOP to unsubscribe from misinformation about the Nov. 5 general election.
If only it were that simple.
Thousands of Pennsylvania voters received a text message this weekend that falsely claimed that they had already voted in the Nov. 5 election.
“Records show you voted,” the text read, linking them to an official Pennsylvania website with information about polling places and early voting.
But the message did not come from an official government resource or a well-known get-out-the-vote advocacy group. Instead, it was signed by “AllVote,” a self-proclaimed voter-mobilization program that election officials have repeatedly flagged as a scam to be avoided and ignored.
