  • According to etymonline.com, capital comes from "Latin capitalis 'of the head'". Capitol comes from "Latin Capitolium, [the] name of the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, protector of the city, on the Capitoline Hill in ancient Rome". The American architecture "deliberately evokes Roman republican imagery". The "relationship of Capitoline to capital is likely but not certain".

    Interesting! Thanks for making me look that up!

  • That value of continued campaigns should be weighed against the requirement that voters need to vote multiple times. Depending on how the votes are cast (in-person vs. mail-in, precinct-based vs. county-based, etc.), subsequent rounds of voting would likely see diminishing voter turnout.
