Still a crappy ad.
I ran for office and during the six month campaign, I used voting records to send birthday postcards to voters.
You’d think I’d engaged in identity theft based on some of the reactions.
And then there’s the 90 yr old sitting on his front porch when I was block walking that said as I approached, “I know you, I’m voting for you. You want to know why? You were the only person to send me a card on my birthday.”
Political ads are weird things.
Not something I like at all no matter who does it.
Iowa Sec State denounces ad.
Here’s why:

Not only is this wrong, it is unconstitutional in my opinion. At the very least it is BS.
You’re really digging deep to justify this, sad.
Cruz effed up, you’re not even honest enough to admit it.
I’ll vote for him, but he messed up big time.
Mao would be so proud.
This tactic is counterproductive. They can shame you into voting, but they can’t know how you vote, at least for now.
If I received a shaming letter I would vote against the mailer’s advice and share my outrage with everyone I know.
Very .... Soviet.
I got one of those in MO, must have been 2014. Totally ticked me off, even though I think it said I was 100%.
Very fast way to alienate voters.
Voters should be ashamed for not voting. This gives their more public minded neighbors an opportunity to invite them to a caucus.if it works and is legal, do you think Trump would hesitate foe a second to do the same thing?
It’s been used in Maine too. I still have mine.
It would DEFINITELY work for me .... I’d make a point of going to the polls & voting for anyone but the person who sent it.
But that example isn’t from any single candidates campaign.
I guess Iowans will decide for themselves if they think it works when coming from a candidate himself.
So-called “experts” have been running our country.
How’s that working out?
In an alternate universe, Trump sent this out and you’re calling for his head.
This pisses me off, and I am a consistent voter and a Cruz supporter. Who legally votes and who does not vote in *any* election should not be publicly available information. Although they too were consistent voters, my parents in the final years of their lives did not have the mental or physical capacity to make informed choices on candidates or ballot issues. I would have ripped off the head and **** down the neck of any politician or PAC leader who would’ve had the gall to shame them to their neighbors. Gonna have to rethink Cruz if he doesn’t stop it.
The Iowa debacle of Cruz expands! If I get one here in Colorado I’ll sue the bastard.
And to thnik lib groups want gun owner and ccw permit holder info made public.
It’s one thing to mention “neighbors”, it’s quite another thing to name them.
