From a reader who just voted:
Stow is out in the suburbs of the suburbs of Boston, all apple orchards and golf courses. It’s been snowing lightly all morning and the streets are messy. I spent an hour helping dig out a liberal neighbor. He had voted already and then got his truck stuck in his driveway. My wife and I breezed in and out of the middle school gym that serves as our polling place. The staff were all smiles. The Brown supporter holding the sign outside was doing a little dance every time a car went by. We waved encouragement and he nodded like “Yup, another one.”
I’ve read a little about vote stealing in Mass. and don’t see how it could work. We’ve lived and voted in three towns here and it’s always the same. We check in at the polls before receiving a ballot and a worker checks our names off a list sorted by address. I can see there are no other voters registered at our address. We mark up the ballots and then check out and again are marked off a list. Then we feed our ballots into a machine and leave. It’s always orderly and judging by the number of workers present it would take quite a conspiracy to tamper with the ballots. But what do I know?
