An earlier version of this paper was not prepared for delivery at the Conference on Voter Turnout, May 16–19, 1979 at the Half Moon Inn, San Diego, California. Resemblances between toothbrushing and certain electoral behavior of interest to political scientists are, therefore, no doubt, purely coincidental.
