Several of you have reached out to us concerned about a text message you received from the president.

The text appears to come from several different phone numbers and states, "This is President Trump. Your early vote has NOT been RECORDED on Kansas's roster. I need you to vote GOP. Confirm your polling place >>> https://vote.gop/24KS."

Eyewitness News reached out to Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabetha Lehman who tells us that's not true.

Lehman says her office has taken tons calls about the text. She says she doesn't know if the texts are bogus or who they're coming from, but she does know the information is either not up to date or inaccurate in some cases.

Political analysts say text messages are a much more effective way to reach voters these days.

"It's much more like a phone call that you didn't answer but is on your phone screen reminding you-you've got a call from Beto O'Rouke or Ted Cruz or any of the other candidates," said KHOU 11 analyst, Bob Stein.

Kansas Republican Party Chairman Kelly Arnold says he believes the text was sent out by the Republican National Committee, out of Washington, D.C. He says when the president contacts voters he will do it in conjunction with the RNC or from his presidential campaign. Kelly says he believes the message is legitimate.

He also says

is the official website for the Republican party.

How did they get my information?

Many of you have questioned whether these messages are legal -- and they are.

Campaigns can obtain your number from your public voter file. While the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) prevents companies from texting you without your consent, political parties are exempt.

That means, your number is still accessible even if you are registered on the "Do Not Call List".

As long as campaigns are in compliance with federal law -- you're stuck with the messages.
