Tonight I worked on Frank Justison, who (apparently) was born in #brandywine hundred, #delaware. That struck me as an interesting place name. Turns out Delaware used to have many place names ending in “Hundred” as it related to #apportionment of districts to the #generalassembly. Today, Brandywine Hundred (aka North #Wilmington) is the only area that still uses “Hundred” in its name. See, #genealogy leads you to some interesting places, literally and figuratively. #geneadons #history

🎁 📰 #FreeRead @ #NYTimes | "In red states, they would likely pursue one day elections with paper ballots and require voter ID with only the red state citizens or even red state tax payers voting. And blue states would be free to allow illegal aliens from all over the world to vote freely and frequently in their elections like the D.C. City Council wants. Dead people could still vote. Criminals in jail could vote that is if blue states even have jails or prisons anymore."
