Honey Fitz says get out and vote. In Boston, seven people are running for four at-large council seats and there are contested district races in 2 (South Boston, South End and Chinatown), 3 (Dorchester) and 7 (Roxbury). In District 3, where O'Toole and Baker and battling to replace outgoing incumbent Feeney, the Dorchester Reporter is tweeting the latest voting numbers and other observations. In District 2, Lee vs. Linehan, David Bernstein calculates that turnout in precincts Lee won in the preliminary are up dramatically, but that turnout in precincts Linehan won are up even more so. Our special Election Day Citizen Complaint of the Day comes from Brighton, where a peeved citizen reports:
No "I voted today" stickers at Patricia White Apartments. What's the point of voting? (But despite that, the civilian poll workers and the Boston police officer were all super friendly and professional. Thanks for their community service!)
