I forgot you were in C'bridge. I used to pop up there about once or twice a month to see friends. Despite hating my university years, I do still hold Cambridge fondly in my heart.
i met my first candidate of this election half a block from the polling place. it was nice knowing that the only one who actually asked for my vote was my #1 pick for school committee.
this is the first time i have ever gone from the gym to the polling place. the aerobic high carried me right through filling in all those little ovals.
This year the Cambridge vote was way down - about 16,500 voted in 2003 it was 20,900.
It looks like an interesting election - the unofficial results show one incumbent city councillor beaten and 2 school committee persons out - this might change tomorrow when they process the 534 unscanned ballots.
wow... my ballot had a write-in, so i'm one of those unscanned ballots (in the city council races)... and i didn't vote for all the incumbents (two i wouldn't put out if they were on fire), so my preferences won't help.
While I don't have the hard numbers, we're supposedly down quite a bit as well. Not atypical for an "off-year" election (our governor doesn't come up for election until 2006), but still a bit of a let-down.
