Are there a lot of ads, calls, volunteers knocking on your door, etc.?

But no one cares about your vote, where you live.

In the national scope: no! None!

For mayor and ballot measures: only a reasonable amount.

Feels good, man.

5 business only phones lines - 4 unlisted and all loaded with robocalls.

Only the other side knocks at my door - about 3 times this week and its Tuesday. Last week because I did not answer door (Camera so I can see) to busy but I do enjoy the back n forth with them.

Jehovah's Witnesses two weeks ago and somewhat regular because in their book I am more valuable for conversion then regular people - I really enjoy talking to them. Could not get very far re their political views. The Junk mail this election is about 8X more then ever before. My Box gets jammed up with such junk.

One other phone line in a remote location for special telemetry stuff and I see it jammed with Robocalls -

Becky did ya ask me 2 rite a book?

No, voting is compulsory, so they don't have to do anything. People just vote for the same party over and over because they don't care, unless they think the current party is failing, then they vote for the "other" party.

Not too much happens. Just a bit of post through the door, no volunteers or calls ever.

Which is a shame because it'd be fun to mess with them.

Not really. You get junk mail from political candidates and flyers handed out in the streets, but not much else.
