To all-

Several years ago, I came across a chart that showed monthly schedules
of voter registrars in several Southside Virginia counties in the
mid-20th century.  (At least, that's what I think it was.)  The chart
showed that the registrars (who were employed full time in some other
capacity) registered new voters only one or two days a month--sometimes
from the Courthouse and sometimes from home.  Can anyone jog my memory
and give me a citation?
