3. 'Nomorobo' is included with my cable/phone service

When a potentially hinky call comes in the phone rings just once and a message gives the caller a 4 digit code to enter. If it's a legitimate human, and they enter the code, my caller ID shows that same number ringing in, again. If it's a computerized call, it drops. If the number shows up on their reported list, it then is blocked.

This is the first election year I've ever gotten calls from them. This phone number has, for decades, belonged to a solidly Democratic voting household and demographically is in an area with 100% Democratic representation.
