You're right; "reading more" was more a mathematical quibble than a strong objection. Maybe if you're very young you read that much; that's what I did when I was a teen with no social life. Overlap seems much more likely, though; there are not very many hard right authors.

I am not so worried by the affect on the final balloting myself. We already have plenty of conservatives in fandom and there are not that many of these people. I am worried about thuggery, however.
