The USA has a (class/political) color inversion. In the rest of the world the color Red represents the working class (Communists, socialists, Labour Party etc) And the Blue is the color of the conservative upper classes. (often refered to as Tories) I don't know why Republicans are Red and Democrats are Blue. And another thing, having your elections on a Tuesday doesn't make sense either. You would get more participation if they were held on a Saturday, when more people are not at work. (Of course that may be deliberate since the Republicans don't want a lot of people to vote.

(I am sure that they would not be allowed to throw chalk at the children who were misbehaving either these days)
"Most TVs from the past 10 years have either SCART or composite video/audio in"
SCART still exists? That must be one of the most horrible connector standards ever.
I had a 1081 with SCART, (in 1986 it came with the Amiga 1000 )and the early 1084's also had it. Duct tape was the most common solution to try to keep it connected to the monitor
