But how do you get their numbers? Just dial randomly and hang up if the person sounds Republican?
When you register to vote here, you can have a party affiliation and can give them permission to contact you.
That doesn't answer the question. Where are the phone numbers?
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.
