edschweppe: (vote at your own risk)
Today is what the US politicos call Super Tuesday, when, to quote the Associated Press,
voters in 16 different states and one territory (Get it? "Super" Tuesday.) will be choosing who they want to run for president.
Massachusetts is one such state, and I voted in today's Democratic Party primary.

Given that Biden is nearly certain to get the Democratic nod in Massachusetts, and Trump highly likely to get the Republican nod, I wasn't surprised to see fairly low turnout numbers when I voted earlier this afternoon. (Less than four hundred ballots cast in my precinct of around two thousand or so registered voters.)

Slightly amusing note: on today's ballot, there were more options for Libertarian Party preferences (5) than for Democratic Party preferences (4). On the other hand, the Libertarian Town Committee had ten open seats, and nobody named on the ballot for any of them ...
