Republicans were incensed by the fact that their campaign emails were unfairly sent to users of the email service. The same Republicans are now taking on the internet giant.
The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit against Google in California for unfairly throwing GOP campaign emails to the junk mail at a time when it's crucial to raise money for the November congressional elections, according to a report. According to the lawsuit, the most productive time to raise money is at the end of each month.
In August, the Federal Election Commission gave the go-ahead for individual campaigns to apply for a program that will help them stop their emails from being sent to the wrong people. The RNC is not part of the program according to the report. It would have a special banner on its emails that signaled that it was part of the program.
According to a study from North Carolina State University, Republican emails were more likely to be sent to junk mail than Democratic ones. According to a report by Mashable, email senders with political affiliations are more likely to have their email forwarded to other people than senders with no political affiliations. If you send a lot of similar emails and they don't open very often, that's a ticket to Spamville.
Maybe there is a conspiracy against Republicans and they don't understand how to email. It could go to the courts now.
