"W"eir = letter B ...sort-of.
The recall alphabet: R, W, Q, O, J, M, V, A, H, B, S, G, Z, X, N, T, C, I, E, K, U, P, D, Y, F, L. (various paragraphs snipped from CNN.com) Under the California election process, here's how the voting will work: The candidates' names will be alphabetized based on the alphabet that was selected Monday, with the candidates' second and following letters being looked at according to the same list if needed to determine the order within each group of initial letters. Officials will then make 80 different lists -- one for each of the state's voting districts -- by moving each name on top of one list to the bottom of the next. Not all candidates will see their name at the top of a list, however, since there are more than 80 candidates. The new alphabet means plenty of confusion for voters who come to the polls. Short of memorizing the recall alphabet, they'll have to scroll through the entire list of names carefully to find the name they're looking for. It could all be for naught, however, if California voters buck a poll that shows 64 percent saying they will vote to recall Gov. Gray Davis, the first choice on a two-part ballot. The second part, of course, is to pick one of the many candidates to replace him, a logistical nightmare for elections officials and a brain teaser for voters. If the recall succeeds, the candidate with the most votes -- no majority is necessary -- will take over as governor immediately and serve the remaining three years of Davis' term. -- Montblack I really "like to watch" this political stuff |
