Don't wanna doxx myself because the mailers are all region specific, but I can assure you they are coming from dems too. I'm a dem voter and I got one and googled it. I even looked at the org that's behind it and the CEO was openly a dem and the employees donated to left wing candidates and the org comes up as left wing when I looked into it. I called them to say that this seems like a right wing scare tactic so I was surprised to see it used on a left of center orgs mailers. Obviously there is nothing the rep could do, but hopefully if enough people call in they will change this. I'm still concerned that this left wing org is somehow secretly right wing because the mailer rubbed me the wrong way so much.
Edit because apparently people don't believe me. Googling "DNC mailers voter information" and I was able to pull up plenty of articles, though I do not have the letter I personally received. Please note that I know they are not from the DNC, I was just looking for generic words that google would associate with dems. For transparency, I very slightly edited my original comment for brevity/clarity.

The second article (mentioning that they received a cease and desist for what the state deemed intimidation) says "The groups described themselves as nonpartisan, though their founder, Page Gardner, and CEO, Tom Lopach, are both former Democratic strategists."
