Somerville says: Yes on 4, No on 5 and 6

[ron_newman]

Any web site can tell you about Deval Patrick or Wine in Food Stores, but only Davis Square LiveJournal brings you the results of Somerville's non-binding referenda:

Question 4 - Withdraw from Iraq Immediately
Yes - 7599
No - 4021

Question 5 - Refugee 'Right of Return'
Yes - 5111
No - 6242

Question 6 - Divest from Israel
Yes - 3530
No - 7747

(copied from Somerville City Cable channel 16. For some reason, the city puts the results on cable TV first, instead of on the city web site.)

That's good news.

Thanks for this.

someone is always at a TV station doing work. webmasters go to bed [occasionally].

So for those of us not in Somerville, and too lazy to google for it, what on Earth does "Refugree 'Right of Return'" mean?

So, um, where did you guys actually vote on these? I vote in Somerville (but not Davis - Union), and I saw the state questions 1, 2, and 3, but none of the Somerville questions. Did my polling place screw up somehow?

These questions were on the ballot only in Denise Provost's district -- about half of Somerville. I think you're in Tim Toomey's district.

Yes, I am. That explains it. Thanks a lot!
