And obviously, if you were to not want to alter the list, then all you had to do was pick up the ballot, fold it in half and drop it in the box, no privacy needed, so anyone who went into the booth could be marked out.

It's always been funny how the Radicals were the Holy Roman Empire of political parties, neither radical nor socialist nor much of a party either.
Pre WW2 they were more of a party than anyone to their right, weren't they?
Pre-WWII yes, and to some degree during the 4th Republic they were more united (if only by the common label and their worship of Herriot) than the ridiculous mixture of 'paysans', 'indépéndants' and 'modérés' and former PRL members than made up the classical right. But still, by 1950 or so, the radicals were happily cooperating with these groupings, especially as the party's right-wing, the 'néo-radicaux' (who did not even care much about *the* Radical issue, laïcité) was pretty much identical to more moderate classical right deputies (VGE ehem).
But keep in mind that the only real parties (in the sense of having an apparatus) that France developed were the PCF, SFIO and the MRP. Literally parties with 15 members and two leaders (Pleven and Mitterrand) like the UDSR were little more then electoral labels for individuals and their followers.
If the topic interests you, there's a nice book on this 'Bourgeois Politics in France, 1945-1951'

This one stemmed from a discussion earlier today with @AndyC and @iainbhx about some polling data for the London local elections and what it said about current trends among Labour and the Conservatives' shifting appeal, with the data split both by ethnicity (white vs all BAME/other) and social class (ABC1 / C2DE).
I realised we don't actually have a map for ethnicity by Westminster constituency analogous to the ones @Reagent has done for America, so I looked around and found that the 2011 census data by constituency is available - which is good - in a really stupid format not an easily editable spreadsheet - which is bad. I haven't yet found the class data by constituency, but if it exists I will map that as well.
Note that as this is census data, it reflects the whole population not just the electorate (and, of course, is now 7 years out of date...)

Would anyone happen to have a WorldA of the 2016 election, or at least a WorldA with counties that I could fill in?
Is it possible that you're thinking of a QBAM or County-BAM? I don't think you physically could show most counties on a Worlda map.

Nah, I've never been a big fan of the BAM series. I'd just like a WorldA map of the 2016 election on a county level.
Just because it was the first state that jumped to my mind, here's a county map of Oklahoma:
Here's Oklahoma on the worlda:
Do you see what the issue with your request is?

Yes, I'm fully aware that the WorldA can't capture every single county, but a solid red county/blue county map- as in, the counties don't all have to be outlined, just the borders for the red clusters and blue clusters- should be possible.

Not when you take into account stuff like Virginia's Independent Cities or Georgia's multitude of counties.
It's Harrow.
Also, the MP is named Blackman, though with a name like that he's obviously white.
I think Harrow is actually less Tory than its reputation would let on - it's the sort of North London suburb that would've voted for Blair by a decent margin, but otherwise have been fairly solidly blue.
Other than its general Harrow-ness, the largest ethnic group is Indians (most often Hindu Gujaratis) who are more likely than other BAME groups to vote Conservative.
