5 out of 13,467,580 that have ever logged on and registered. Have the voter registration polls been purged of those that are no longer alive?

Are you accusing me of voter fraud?

Nope... I'm saying the number of registered users doesn't necessarily reflect the number of CURRENT users. It is the polling booths responsibility to adjust the record of eligible voters, merely to ensure the voting process is a level playing field for all.

So I had 2 texts and an email from "Google" telling me that someone had tried to access my account but didn't have the correct password and were attempting to change it. Was that me?
Well, one, I didn't recall using that email address with Google and two, no I hadn't requested a password change. All a bit odd.
Then I recalled that I had once used that email address for something at Google but some years ago and haven't used it since.
Still, better to be safe. I logged in directly from the Google home page and went through the motions to change the password and they suspended the account for a few days whilst they reviewed it. Fine by me.
Thing is, not sure if it was a scam in that the emails I received appear to be real or just someone trying their luck at accessing the account. As it happens I have a secure password strategy so not worried that they'll guess it. Still, very odd.
One of the text messages came from area code 614 (Ohio) and a quick search had the number as a scam line.
Anyone else had this?

I had something similar a month or two back. Somehow I got texts in my gmail basically saying the same thing and providing a link. I ignored it. Why would gmail bother texting my email account and send an obscure link - makes no sense. Also I learned that day you can apparently text someone's email. The more you know!

So I just tried 4 minifiers. Here are the results:
https://javascript-minifier.com/
Fails on class Helpers {
https://jscompress.com/
Fails on class Helpers {
https://www.minifier.org/
Worked!!! Input was 81K, minimized is 46K.
NUglify: https://github.com/xoofx/NUglify
Fails. Produced: Object.entries(t).map([n,t]=>i.setAttributeNS(null,n,t))
Note [n,t] needs to be ([n,t])
Too bad about NUglify. It produced a 37K minified file.
3 out of 4 failed.

Having never heard of a 'minifer', I followed the link that you said worked; OK, I understand what they are now.
The next question is: does the page/site load noticeably faster when using the 'minifer'ed version?
If so, what percent increase was seen?

Yes -- keep in mind not everyone is on highspeed internet, so minifying the javascript your website references can result in a 50% speed improvement on loading. Potentially more if you're on a satellite connection where the round trip ACK for each TCP/IP packet (typical MTU of 1500 bytes) can be time consuming, though having simulated such stuff, I would imagine that a satellite "router" attempts to deal with this by not using TCP/IP directly over the satellite, where every 1500 byte packet requires an ACK.
Basically, minifying Javascript is a quite simple method of improving website performance regardless of the connection quality. It also makes the javascript harder to read by would-be hackers or the just plain curious. Obviously one wouldn't do this during development!

Thank you; I can see where it would be beneficial.
I've largely spent my career in the local world and largely avoiding web development.
Now, if there was some way to compile it... but that is a whole other barrel of fish.
