Have to clear up if this date is an artifact of transferring voter data from paper to electronic.
You have book based voter registration records that are keyed into a new database. If he written records have no date associated with registration, whatever the default date assigned to that database field would be used. 1.1.1918 might just be an arbitrary value, or it could have some WI significance. Looks like the programmer figured the year birth year 1900 + 18 to register. This doesn't reflect the voting age of 21 that may have been in effect, in 1900, though..
Not sure, but you probably aren't going to be allowed a zero value for a date field in a database, so you have to create some default that goes back far enough, just in case, from whatever year you built the database.
Not saying it isn't fuckery, but that's too many people if you wanted to fly under the radar. Might be another reason.
Free spirit throwback. Used to be a lot of them.
If you go back to the dems of the JFK era, these types were the juxtaposition to the staid landed elite pub stereotype. Little guy with a voice heroes.
I think individual Americans are a mixture of opinions that could range from very lib to very conservative in no particular pattern. If you take away the adherence to some purity test to be able to fix a label to your political beliefs, and the guts to vote on issues specifically according to your opinion, a Sinema is what you get.
Key is consistent opinions on similar issues. She may vote conservative on budget stuff, but liberal on abortion stuff, for example. It's consistent, though, based on her opinion and not party dogma.
