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!

In case anyone cares, it seems to me that signing an affadavit that you intend to establish residency in New Hampshire and that you have a place to return to is all the "proof of domicile" you need to vote in New Hampshire. I'd be surprised if it were otherwise, since U.S. citizens in most (if not all) states have a right to vote. You neighborhood clerk would probably be skeptical if you put where you parked your car (assuming you are living out of your car) as your domicile, but if you were doing it in good faith, you could probably get away with it. If you were staying in a motel you could certainly put that location.

If I actually lived in France, made France my home, participated in the community, paid taxes to France, then I would want to vote in at least some of the elections. I wouldn't expect to, since everyone makes their laws as they see fit. But I would definitely want to.
