95. two concerns
One is whether we can be absolutely confident about how "alphabetic sequence" of precinct name is applied. For instance, I have two different statewide datasets; in one, every precinct in Warren has a geographical name; in the other, every precinct is numbered. I can see that the sequences aren't the same.

The other is that when I started to look at precinct sequences for the Senate race in Cuya, they didn't seem to follow the same deterministic sequence as the presidential race. Mostly they alternated, but there were breaks in sequence. Finally I gave up because I didn't have time to check all the PDFs.

We can try it, but how will we know whether we are wrong?

Yeah, the Nader/DQ business is pretty smelly.
