gingicatDon't forget that tomorrow is the primary election in Massachusetts!
The Democratic side features a hotly-contested Senate seat; middle-aged progressive Ed Markey versus young moderate Joe Kennedy. Here in Medford there's a contest for State Rep between stodgy but kind looooong-time incumbent Paul Donato and progressive idealist Nichole Mossalam. And some others worth researching.
Any Massachusetts resident old enough can observe a polling place for at least half an hour; I can provide information regarding what to look for.
I was supposed to be working for the City of Medford at Ward 8, Precinct 2 tomorrow, but I woke up with the sort of sore throat that's a cold symptom (Edit: now gone again), so I cannot in good conscience do so. I'll call my precinct clerk in a couple of hours so he can get a substitute via the City Clerk's office. This substitute may be a first-timer, and the clerk is a third-timer, and it's easy to forget to check the manual (the link goes to an only-slightly-out-of-date example). So if you can come observe at the fire station at Zero Medford Street, I'd be particularly grateful.
