Strange mailing from warren campaign

Received a postcard from the warren campaign. That’s fine. What’s weird is that my name and address were written in my wife’s handwriting. Neither of us recalls writing my name and address. But it’s creepy.

Anyone else notice something like this?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

We have volunteers that write postcards and hand address envelopes for mailing in our Democratic office. Writing addresses is something that people who don't want to make phone calls or knock on doors can do. Several of our volunteers have beautiful handwriting that they attribute to the strict oversight of nuns in their early school years. I wonder if a lot of people got herded into producing similar "correct" handwriting styles.

and possible ranks of gnome forgers to crank out those cards.

Gnomes are good at that sort of thing.

"possible ranks of gnome forgers to crank out those cards" calling Rick Wilson - there are zingers on DU too.

this. But if there had been something, it would likely have gone to my US address. If so, I won't see it until mid-summer or so.

I believe that the respondent who mentioned that those of us who were educated, at least in part, by nuns seem to have similar handwriting is probably closest to the mark. It may also be a generational question as many of us adhered to the Palmer method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmer_Method

What HAS happened is that the inbox in the email address I use for political campaign contributions is full of solicitations from Amy Klobuchar more than from ANY other candidate, including my preferred candidate.

I generally skim through them and then delete. But they just keep coming.
