edschweppeThe Massachusetts state primary is next Tuesday (September 3), and I did the early voting thing this afternoon. There are seven offices on the ballot - Senator in Congress, Representative in Congress, Councillor, Senator in General Court, Representative in General Court, Clerk of Courts and Register of Deeds. (For those not familiar with Massachusetts, the "Councillor" is a member of the Governor's Council, while the "General Court" is what we in Massachusetts call our state legislature.)
The Democratic Party ballot has nominees for all seven slots, and a contested primary for the Governor's Council seat.
The Republican Party ballot has three people competing for the Senator in Congress nomination - and nobody at all even trying for the other six nominations.
The Libertarian Party ballot is completely empty.
Unsurprisingly, there was no line today at the Town Clerk's office for early voting.
