52. I have never come across that problem when I call.

Usually they don't even ask for an address even though I have a Zillow one as backup (just in case they do mask). I don't see the point of an additional 4 digits for verification. I call GOP reps since I live in a Blue state but if a staffer did ask for MY real 9 digit zip code I wouldn't know it without having to look it up, no one knows their 9 digit number off the top of their head. That is a ridiculous thing to ask anyone.

When I first posted this practice of mine on DU a few years ago some people thought it was fraudulent and dishonest. When I look at the last 4 years of team tRump those comments have disappeared. I guess anything now is fair compared to what the criminal GOP constantly pulls.
