FactCrescendo Verifies the story as true, caused by human negligence.
We should remove these people from our system. How can they be so irresponsible and goof up the data. I don’t even understand how is it possible that a bird and an animal is in the voter list? Don’t they find any differences between a human being and a bird or animal??? Terrible.
These are some funny things we see. This is how we ppl work. Ha ha ha
While I do understand that its human to make errors, but this is hilarious.
