With the increasing amount of options that automated calling offers, politicians who don't use them are at an extreme disadvantage. Robocalling offers candidates to reach millions of potential voters via voice message or text message, in a matter of minutes. On top of that, campaign leaders can send out political polling calls which ask potential voters and series of questions that are answered through the phone and then the reports are sent back to the candidate.
Come election season, millions of robocalls are going to be sent out by hundreds of politician across the country. When it comes to political robocalling, there are several different "types" that can be purchased from the various provider out there.
