Political spam is going to start clogging up your Gmail inbox

In elections, all means of campaigning are apparently on the table and considered fair and square. And sometimes, candidates might try to get into your email inbox in a desperate attempt for you to hear about them. Google has received backlash because Gmail's spam filters are apparently more likely to put Republican fundraisers and campaign emails in spam than Democratic ones, prompting GOP leadership to worry about political bias and introduce a bill in the Senate demanding accountability. In light of that, it looks like Google is preparing to take action itself, as the company is seemingly working on a program to keep those emails out of spam — which is probably bad news for you.
