    If you think Shapiro will be confused with a different Shapiro but “Kelly” won’t be considered a woman, then idk what to tell you. Alao wild you think voters will be educated enough to recognize Kelly is an astronaut but not understand that Josh and Ben are unrelated

      They don’t have to recognize Kelly is an astronaut, they will be constantly reminded.

      “I’m Wolf Blitzer and here with us tonight is former astronaut and current Senator Mark Kelly” rolls right off the tongue.

      Whereas “I’m Wolf Blitzer and here with us tonight is Governor Josh Shapiro. No, not the obnoxious right winger. That’s Ben Shapiro. This is Josh. They are different people who happen to share a last name” sounds like an SNL skit.

      but “Kelly” won’t be considered a woman,

      Umm… I never said that?

      Alao wild you think voters will be educated enough to recognize Kelly is an astronaut but not understand that Josh and Ben are unrelated

      Nor that.

      Both of those things will 100% happen. …but ‘voters’ are more than one person, so some things will happen more than others. We want to set up the things that give us the highest number when it’s time to count votes. My money’s on “SPACE MAN!!” > “EWW A GIRL” and such.
