Don'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and the clerk is a third-timer, and it's easy to forget to check the manual (the link goes to an only-slightly-out-of-date example).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.

From Patch.com:
Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin is urging voters to hand deliver their mail-in ballots to drop boxes and election offices around the state, instead of dropping them in the mail, in an effort to ensure they arrive in time and are counted for the Sept. 1 primary.

The announcement comes as communities across the state are rallying to show support for their local post offices.

"If you are able to do so, the best way to ensure that your ballot is counted is to deliver it in person," Galvin said.

Ballots can be dropped off at early voting locations, and drop boxes outside of town halls and city halls around the state. But they must reach each voter's local election office by 8 p.m. on Sept. 1 in order to be counted.


The directory is here: Find My Election Office

There's also a form to see if your mail-in ballot has been received: Track My Ballot
Two of our three household ballots have been received.

Spring elections and primaries are going ahead in Wisconsin today despite the difficulties created by COVID-19 and efforts by the governor to postpone in-person voting.

Polls are open until 8pm and the Wisconsin Democratic Party has put up a guide to where to find curbside voting and ballot drop-off, along with in-person voting locations where still available.
