I voted yesterday, mail in ballot which I dropped off at the Town Hall. I checked the States website today, 'Track Your Vote'. The site noted the drop off day, today's date when it was processed and that it was accepted. I voted!

I live in MA and this is an important primary election. Our Senator Markey's seat is a contested seat. My Congressman, Joe Kennedy, who I voted as my rep left his seat to primary Markey. Now his seat is up for grabs. It is a very blue district, yet two of the eight running have questionable ethics. Two of the men are anti choice and one changed parties to help elect our GOP Governor.

I voted for Markey, he has not disappointed me. There is little difference between the two. I think Joe made the wrong decision at this time.

Town elections were postponed as well.

I think some of the delay was due to getting mailers printed and sent to all registered voters to request mail in ballots.

I mentioned some of that in my OP. There were 8 running. One dropped out two weeks ago, Cavell. Liked him as a former speech writer for the Obamas and his work as Asst AG to AG Healy in MA. They sued Donnie 50 times!

Of the four top...one is running as a Democratic Socialist.One a Dem turned R to campaign and vote for Gov. Baker. One a few weeks ago decided to sue MA for slow mail issues, if she doesn't know that it is DT causing the issues then I do not want her as my Rep.
