If only 6 people out of 54000 shared Weld's birthday, she was just lucky (not that this invalidates the main point).

- smokey_the_bear 15y agoBirthdate includes year
- arohner 15y agoIncluding birth year helps significantly. Assuming an even distribution of births, you'd expect 54000/365 ~ 148/day. Then knowing gender lets you cut that in half. Dividing again by the age distribution of voters gets that down to a reasonable number.
