vote!

If you live in Massachusetts, you should vote today. There is a special election to replace Charlie Shannon, a state senator who passed away.

Whoever you support, make your voice count!

Edit: katkt rightly points out that you must live in the second senatorial district in order to vote. If you live in Davis like us, it's the poll in the VFW.

That would only be for people who live in the second middlesex MA congressional district. Like you and I, but not many of our mutual friends.

Err, second middlesex ma senatorial district, of course.

This is kind of long, rambly, and not especially important. But I ran across it doing research to make sure MA senate seats weren't statewide when you originally posted.

I found this, which lists all the MA senate districts and the towns/wards/precincts that are in them.

Unhelpfully, they aren't numbered or anything useful like that. So as far as I can tell, there is no "second senatorial district". Rathere there is a "Second Essex and Middlesex" senatorial district and a "Second Bristol and Plymoth" district and a ....
And so on including a "Second Middlesex" district (which is ours and *not* the same as "Second Essex and Middlesex"

Don't you just love Massachusetts?

Oh, lovely naming scheme!

In a slightly different vein, this site will tell you where your polling place is and which seats you're allowed to vote for.

depends on how you define "in davis" -- people on the other side of davis, no further from the T than syn, are at a church on college, or at the ciampa manor on college, or somewhere else. voting areas are small.

I'm just feeling a bit frustrated by the level of nitpicking in my life at the moment. By no means is it only you.
