Need full names only when others w/same last name got votes as well (more than you might think). Remember, there are more electors now than there were 200 years ago!

	Wildly inconsistent about when you show first names; the title says 150 or more votes but the quiz includes 21 people who won fewer; you DID leave many candidates off, however (e.g. McClellan, Cass, Seymour); you misspelled Willkie; you left out the space in Van Buren...

	Just about to get off of Sporcle because of how much everyone gripes at tough quizzes, while fluff gets to the top of the board everytime. If I misspelled Willkie, I'll correct that. But there is no wildly inconsistent. I show first names when I think it's helpful, but I take last names only on all situations where there wasn't someone else who got even one electoral vote (there was another Lincoln who got one BTW). The title clearly says that it includes both people who got more than 150, as well as familiar names who got less. I tried to judge that not by hardcore history buffs, but with only truly familiar folks. And I decided to take Van Buren both with and without the space to try to be nice. Won't be being nice ever again.

	Quiz won't accept George Walker Bush for George W. Bush. As far as the last name business, I have no problem with you asking for the first names for ones that have the same last name so long as the all the ones with the same name are on the quiz; it seems pointless to insist on Abraham Lincoln's first name if the other Lincoln isn't on the quiz, whereas it makes perfect sense for all the Adamses.
