You have been here long enough to know not to double space your picks. Are people doing this to piss me off? ---

The app does double spacing automatically on my tablet and my phone. Pressing that M button on the top left of the screen does fix it, but that’s not the default format. ---

This double spacing bullshit is a new development on the boards, and I don’t know why it’s set so that things are double spacing by default. I think people aren’t used to it, so things are getting submitted with extra spacing. That behind said, it’s been posted numerous times in this thread to make sure not to submit double spaced lists, and people have given methods to submit lists with the spaces removed, so I really don’t know what else can be done to get people to submit their lists properly. It’s vexing. ## People: submit your lists single-spaced, no embellishments or explanations, no numbers. Baker doesn’t ask for much for all the work she does as Death Mistress. ## Either tap the little M/A at the upper left corner of the text box so that the M is highlighted blue (this M/A is directly to the LEFT of the B you would tap to bold your text, which will allow you to type your list in the text box single spaced, OR type your list single-spaced in another document, then copy and paste it here. ---

I have been totaling names presented so far. Trump is on nearly half the lists. He’s always had a high percentage but this year he is on 20 of 42 lists. _crosses fingers_ ---
