Votes required? I always thought voting was optional, although a civic
duty.

But if I'm forced to choose, I'll toil along in melancholy.

1 and 6 please.

As always, I'm a sucker for "a kind of ..." defs, and I'm sure Johnny B
will try to make us all fail by devious means. 9 and 15, please.

9. a kind of millet

15. [Sl.] to cause to fail, esp. by devious or questionable means

Most of them are amazingly believable, and I could cheerfully vote for any
of the 16 that aren't the one I submitted. But, being obliged to choose
only two, I'll pick two adjectives, one because it sounds right, the other
because it's amusing:

> 6. mournful; melancholic
and
> 14. [Obs.] married; also hanged
