I would EVER do such a thing! No way! But I am curious.
Anyway, I called and it's been busy for a long time.

Sometimes I get asked to confirm my street too. Of course this is Ga. Maybe they are just pickier.

DeVos and relatives contributed a combined $43,200 during the 2016 election cycle, according to a review by the Winston-Salem Journal of reports filed by the Burr campaign with the Federal Election Commission.
If Sen. Burr does not recuse himself after benefiting from DeVos donations, well have the appearance of a high-ranking government position that can be bought by and sold to the highest bidder, said David Donnelly, the president and chief executive of Every Voice.
