scam political survey?

So I just received a "survey" call. I usually don't engage but today I was really curious.

I live in Georgia. She asked which county I'm in, then she asked which party I identify with.

I said I'm Independent.

Then she asked which side do I lean towards.

I said Democratic.

Then she said, thank you, that will conclude the survey.

What type of survey excludes Democratic voters?

Do I have to worry about getting purged from the voter rolls now?

Years ago I was called for a Quinnipiac poll. That was the first thing they mentioned when I answered so I agreed to participate in the poll. I would never answer any questions if they didn't identify themselves or if they identified as a blatantly right-wing outfit like Rasmussen.

But according to Gemini, she claimed to be from PRO Research, operating as part of the National Public Opinion Forum. Likely a push poll, message testing situation.

I think refugs just wanted a little clarity on which side of the aisle I'm on because I voted in one of their disgusting primaries a few years back. The one where Herschel Walker was running.

Never again! I did it for strategic reasons but it was not worth it at all. I felt dirty. Their questions were disgusting and now I have a scarlet letter on my voter profile.
