As you go to vote, report on what you see
By adamg on Mon, 11/01/2010 - 11:15pm
2010 Election Reports will let you file - and read - reports on anything interesting you see on the way to vote. If you take a photo, you can post that, too.
Ed note: To get it started, I posted a short item on signs already being up at one Roslindale precinct. As more reports come in, the map will become less Roslindale-centric, well, unless Roslindale becomes far more exciting than it normally is.

JP voting steady
at 9:30, JP voting at the Curley School on Centre St. was steady. I was #152, which is crazy high for that time in the a.m.
BPL
Busiest I've ever seen it outside of a presidential election year. I actually had to stand in a short line of about 5 people and didn't have to wake the poll attendant!
Was a bit surprised to see a question 4 on my ballot - must have missed that in the hoopla - some non-binding referendum about letting a local representative cast a vote to have us participate in a world government made up of democratic countries or something. Very bizarro. You can't make this stuff up!
some non-binding referendum
And they said the 'black helicopter' crowd was crazy.
The exact wording
Come to think of it, I think there was a helicopter hovering over the library :-) - for the record I voted NO - it was the strongest language allowed! Anyone know how this insanity even makes it onto a ballot?
THIS QUESTION IS NOT BINDING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote to amend the state constitution to allow Massachusetts voters, through a law enacted by initiative petition, to vote to delegate their powers concerning international affairs to a democratically elected legislative body of a global federal union of democratic nations?
non-binding questions - mine beats yours, I think
This was on my ballot in Somerville two years ago:
"Question 5: Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of amending the state Constitution to replace the state Legislature with 100 randomly selected adult residents of the Commonwealth, each serving a one-year term, to be called the Commonwealth Jury and to have all the legislative and other powers of the current Legislature?"
