2. I seem to recall that by law, customers of private mailbox services are required to have "PMB" in their address. This doesn't seem to be the case here.

3. The operator of the mail box service explained that the USPS had imposed the "PMB" requirement a few years ago, but has since abandoned it because it was unworkable.

4. Well, now, that is interesting. I seem to remember Logan and others saying that people with addresses like this were usually domestic violence victims.

I see mostly the names of men here and, last time I checked, they were still saying that men are never victims of DV.

So, something is quite fishy about this.

5. I decided to Google and Yahoo these 26 names to see if I could find evidence of multiple voting. One of them has the same name as a person who voted from a residence address. One has the same very unique name as a foreign scholar (a possible ex-visiting scholar at a Seattle university?). To see my complete results, click on my link.
