These organizations trade phone lists, kind of like what telemarketers do. Sometimes the lists can be outdated. Unfortunately replying “stop” to each one is the only way that’s going to slow it down.

Responding to them only confirms a person exists. Flag them as spam and ignore them.

Not entirely true. A number of them are definitely spam, but there are many organizations that do text outreach and there is definitely a person at the other end. They will remove you from their lists if you reply with stop.

If they’re sending political messages, the number is already confirmed as matching a PA voter. Testing STOP is the way to go. If that doesn’t work, THEN mark as spam. If it gets too annoying, set up a wall of shame on Twitter. (Almost) No politician wants bad publicity.
