I looked this up yesterday. The regulations are around the use of robodialers but the political messages generally aren’t using robodialers. Instead they use an army of people with burner phones to send messages person-to-person to avoid the regulations.

One issue that corporations should be concerned about, is if they contract a dialer company to initiate their calls, and that company moonlights to scammers, they get blocked, so the legit corporation gets blocked for being a scammer.
