177 people have the Unix Timestamp (1970-01-01) as DoB
42 have birth set as 1800-01-01
19 have birth set as 1900-01-01.
13 have birth set as 1901-01-01.
2 have birth set as 1914-03-01, 2 more 1914-10-30
Total BirthDay irregularities (for now) are 332. If I set the date to 1920-01-01 ( a handful of centinarians could've voted) it rises to 1074.
A couple of people have no postal code despite having an address.
EDIT: I'll keep editing this post as more data gets processed. More coming up. Please ensure this comment and no other one stays on top! I'll share source code later on a repo.
Unix time stamp logic is like this: The current time in some software programs is counted as "the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 12:00:00 am"
So if there's 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days, you have around 31,536,000 seconds per year
So if the unix timestamp is 31,536,000 - then the date is January 1 1971 (one year + 1/1/1970)
If the timestamp is Zero (or just left blank) many systems will incorrectly parse that as zero seconds past 1/1/1970
Stuff I figured out (until now):
2 people have no date of birth.

Don't forget 1/1/1970
If the data was ever stored as a unix timestamp, it may zero to that date as well
i'll add it to the list.
Edit: good call anon, found dozens more!
What's wrong with that date?
Unix timestamp number 0 (meaning the value was not set) is 1970-01-01.this memory-light method was used a lot during early computing.
So if a date wasn't set it was set by the program to be that date?

Does that make sense?
