election tomorrow

[cos]

Tomorrow, Tuesday May 15th, is the general election for the open seat on the Somerville Board of Aldermen. The two top candidates from last month's primary, Marty Martinez and Jack Connolly will be on the ballot.

Polls are open 7am - 8pm, and you can find your polling place at WhereDoIVoteMA.com. All Somerville voters can vote in this election (election info from the city).

Many people who voted in the primary will forget to vote again tomorrow, so both candidates need some new voters as well as many of their supporters from April as they can get. If you're supporting Jack, this is your chance to make a comeback; if you're supporting Marty, don't assume he'll win. Vote!

So you just made up that New Hampshire thing, right? Honestly, I've Googled for it and everything I can find says that they require an address before you can vote. Without an address how would they even know where you would vote?

I'm not sure how I'm being intellectually dishonest. I'm just trying to understand your position.

I think what you're saying (and feel free to clarify) is that you think people who come to Somerville, even if they're here for just one day, and say that they should be able to vote if they hit the 30 day registration deadline. But if you went to another country, you wouldn't expect to be able to vote in their elections even if you were there for a year.

Is that what you believe? That you're willing to give out rights in your own country that you wouldn't expect if you were in another country?
