Not to say that everyone that votes for Trump is a Nazi, but we do know who the Nazis are voting for.

That doesn't answer the question. Where are the phone numbers?

Sorry was implying they you provide the information. Also when you move you update your voter registration.

I checked that box but no one contacted me.

I've never done the calling or anything like that, but from what I understand they usually put the effort in calling people in battleground states, etc. Could be you live in a state where the effort isn't worth the reward compared to another state. Or maybe your phone blocks it and considers it all spam. My phone flags all the vote texts as spam, wouldn't surprise me if it does it for calls too.

The dialer software connects to a database with a huge set of phone numbers organized in various ways. The calls are often narrowly targeted - sometimes you are calling to confirm attendance at an event, sometimes you are leaving a scripted message for numbers that are known to always go to voice mail. You don't do any literal dialing, you press a "next call" button and wait for someone to answer.

In a database that the dialing program has access too.
