   All the “the people you know can look up whether you’ve voted” messages are *really creepy*, actually. If I weren’t voting anyway, I’d find them threatening and offputting.

     @gannet ugh, to my non-us sensibility it feels not just creepy, but super extra creepy and voter intimidation

     This one’s the worst.

     One of the sample postcard messages for that handwritten postcard campaign is similar; my knitting group collectively decided that was creepy and the people writing postcards decided not to use it.

     I’ve also seen two YouTube ads with a similar message, except implying that your friends and family will check up on you.
