I could probably ask Al who won the position of chief dogcatcher of Fayette County, WV in 1892, and he could tell me off the top of my head.
That reminds me of a convo I had at the Young DFL HQ right after we did our final GOTV push:
me: Hey, can I check your laptop? I want to see any early results.
Girl: Yeah, the polls on the east coast should be closed by now.
me: Actually, the first states that declare their results are Indiana and Kentucky. Seats you want to watch are KY-3, IN-2, IN-8 and IN-9. If we win KY-3 we should have a good night and the Democrat's led by a wide margin for a long time in IN-8. In IN-2 we've led but it looks like the Republican might be closing, so this seat could also show what type of night it'll be for us.
Girl: *stunned* How did you know all of that just off the top of your head?
me: uh, I just know things like that
That sort of thing came so naturally to me I was actually suprised she was suprised.
lol, yea, I got some funny looks when I discussed politics with a friend last monday. Most people consider it really out of the ordinary to even know the names of candidates outside your own state.
However, to answer the question, Al.
