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?
I doubt these were fake voters. I am fairly new to this area, so I don’t know many people. But, people in line around me were greeting those in line by name - it’s a rural Kansas precinct and is heavily republican. Being a small town, everybody seems to know everybody.
It would be seriously difficult to commit “unknown voter” fraud, with so many people knowing everyone else by face and name.
