A new report has shown that Google’s email service Gmail has selectively prioritized inboxing campaign communications from Democrats over Republicans, with a significantly greater number of GOP communications being filtered into spam folders. This bias from Big Tech could clearly suppress the ability for Republicans to maintain regular contact with their supporters and give Democrats an obvious leg up on voter engagement.

The new study from Inbox. The GOP reviewed more than 12,000 emails from both Democratic and Republican political operations and found that more than half of the GOP emails were flagged as spam. The data shows that, over a 90-day period, 64 percent of Democrat communications were sent directly to inboxes while just 46 percent of Republican communications were inbox, a nearly 20 percent difference between the parties.

The last week of the study showed the gap increasing significantly, with almost 60 percent of GOP communications being filtered, while 70 percent of Democrat communications went directly to recipient inboxes.
