- pvaldes 4y agoPeople do similar tricks all the time in some countries. The goal is to obtain a copy of the census. Political parties can ask for a free copy so they can mail info to the pool of possible voters. Is one of their rights as candidates. This information is valuable [1], can be sold or used in other projects to find possible clients, so is not a totally crazy move Can be also interesting just as exercise to teach yourself in the inner parts of the voting system. [1](specially in the pre-Facebook age. Not so much today).
