ELECTION FEVER? Officials have tallied the final count on the number of registered voters for Tuesday’s election: It’s slightly higher than for the June primary, but below the 1992 fall numbers. Republicans are still well ahead of Democrats, by more than 200,000. . . . Where do all these voters live? Anaheim has the most, at 103,959. Huntington Beach is second at 103,363. And Santa Ana is No. 3 at 70,219.
SOURCE OF PAIN: The struggles of black football players is the subject of Sunday’s “This Is the NFL” (Channel 11, 8:30 a.m.). The program notes that the Los Angeles Rams broke the color barrier in 1946 when Kenny Washington joined the team. . . . One poignant moment comes from Hall of Famer and current Rams broadcaster Deacon Jones: “Humiliation is walking past five upscale white schools and going to the little, old, black two-room shack down the street . . . They made you believe you were less than a man. So, you’re constantly trying to prove yourself.”
ECUMENICAL MISSION: Catholics founded Mission San Juan Capistrano. But today, the Catholic mission hosts 500 people from different religions for a diversity fair. It begins with a Jewish Sabbath Service. Workshops on Hindu, Buddhist, Bahai, Catholic and Protestant faiths will be offered. Preregistration interest was high for Islam and Muslims sessions. . . . Says mission administrator Gerald J. Miller: “If you wanted to know about them, where else would you go?”
MUSEUM BLUES: Most of the blues at art museums are in the hues of the artists’ visions hanging on the walls. But tonight at the Fullerton Museum Center--which emphasizes that it’s more than an art museum--there will be the blues you can tap your foot to. . . . Harmonica Fats and the Bernie Pearl Blues Band will play a sold-out gig in its auditorium. Says curator Lynn LaBat: “We do these things to draw people to see the museum, but we also want to add cultural value to the community.”

County registration for Tuesday’s election is slightly down from the 1992 presidential election.
