Did the deluge stop because you replied "STOP" or simply because the election period was over? If it took several months I'd assume it was the latter.

The spam continued long after that particular election was over. I don't remember how long it took to clean it up, exactly, just that each campaign who got my number did in fact respect the END/STOP request, and I was eventually able to get ahead of the viral spread.
