15 minutes sign-in to voting machine.

Two registration lines - A through K and L though Z. A-K was lined up bak to the door. L-Z had maybe 3 people in line. Kinda odd.

Bunches of read, but being in rural Kansas I don’t think “Kansas blue” can be considered democrat blue.

One last thing - Most of the poll workers were wearing red.

"Donald Duck" begins with a "D"...

Your comment got me thinking...

I was at a play on Saturday, and the theater company had a display with pictures of all of their actors, arranged on the wall in alphabetical order. As I was reading the names, and checking out the pretty people, I noticed that about a quarter of the names started with "A", and a quarter of them started with "B", and only one name out of fifty came after the letter "M".

At the time, I chalked it up to a statistical anomoly. Wierd things like that happen all the time, and they don't mean a thing.

But your post got me thinking. You can pretty much assume that the names of all of these small-time actors are made up. (After all, I don't think that "Holly Buttons" was her real name...) I wonder if, when people make up names, they tend to pick names that are earlier in the alphabet, either because they are working their way through the phone book, or because they just want to wind up first in line.

Could it be that a lot of people on that A-K line that was backed up through the door are using made-up names?
