what did your voting tool do? I suspect google like many other tech companies are trying to avoid having their platforms used to manipulate election activities and the definition of manipulate might be very broad. It being funded by a campaign might not matter to google at all.
- InitialLastName 4y agoBeing funded by a campaign might even be a negative, as it would likely increase the odds that the address is being used for election manipulation. It would be easy to register <state>voting@gmail.com, start using it as a contact for public-facing election-oriented documents, and get at least some people confused about whether I was officially associated with <state>'s election apparatus. Given the current environment, I'm positive Google very much doesn't want their systems being used to (even accidentally) impersonate election officials.
