Google is pushing voter registration deadline notices through my android phone

Has anyone else received the reminder to register to vote (online) in their notification panel? Is apple doing something similar?

BTW, I think it is a great idea. They're reaching Millennials this way.

I double Apple will, but Facebook could makes huge difference if it got involved.

just after I put my registration in the mail. Months ago, I was not sure what I was going to do, living in Texas with an almost certain gop landslide in the Electoral College. I cannot sit on my vote in this election. Even if my vote is drowned out by millions of ignorant idiots, I have to put it out there making his margin of victory just that much less.
