As Massterlist pointed out....don't forget to VOTE!
| Paltry turnout seen for rare Thursday primary |
Fewer than 20 percent of Massachusetts registered voters are expected to turn out and cast ballots on Thursday in the state’s primary elections, Jessica Trufant of the Patriot Ledger reports. Although there are numerous contested races across the state—including some bizarre ballot lineups on the South Shore and heavily contested sheriff’s races in Hampden and Essex county—the fact that the election is being held on a Thursday is expected to help depress turnout. “People are used to Tuesday traditionally being an election day, so having it on a Thursday will add confusion,” UMass Boston political science professor Paul Watanabe tells the Patriot Ledger.
