True, but they mostly call you if the polls are closing and your haven't voted yet.

> Any nominal business relationship is also exempt.

true, but here again they have a relationship and are at least somewhat useful. They also aren't robo calls, but a real person spending their time calling you so they won't abuse your time like robo calls do.

I get a constant stream of political push-poll callers from both major parties.

As for the business calls - it's a lot of car warranty crap and similar mostly useless, borderline scammy sales pitches.

Your business calls are scams and nothing to do with the legitimate businesses with an established relationship.
