"Voter Report Card" mailings described as "creepy" and "insulting," defended as effective tool

Julia Ramsey is used to a deluge of election-related mail. Campaign mailings have clogged her Pennsylvania mailbox day after day for months, but one she received this week stood out from the rest. 

It made Ramsey feel like she was being "vote shamed."

The mailing was among millions sent this week by a pair of tax exempt organizations, letters purporting to be "Voting Report Cards." They show whether each recipient voted in recent elections, as well as a table of what appears to be redacted neighbors' names, addresses and voting histories.
