You'll lose votes if you keep calling
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, Candidates, stop the robot calling!
You are not enhancing your position with me when I get two and three calls an evening, pickup the phone, and hear a recorded message asking me to take a political survey, tell me how great a job you are doing, or how detrimental to my lifestyle your opponent will be. If I am interested in your positions, I will call you.
Be sure of one thing, though.
I will vote in the upcoming election. Right now, I am making a list of which candidates call me. The ones that bother me the least, or better yet, not at all, will be the ones who get my vote.
