I am sending the whats and hows as a Word Attachment and as a text file below., The Word attachment will allow direct connection to the url but some can't open word files.

One note: Next April, after and in light of the published results of the Census, I will be revising the 18 and over citizen eligibles for the decade 2001-2010 in light of the real rate of change in the decade rather than predicted rate of change. That and final 2010 vote figures for both primaries and general will be posted at that time, I won't be posting the final vote and registration  figures until then but both McDonald and I will have them.
