Just had a few friends go after work so just a gentle reminder that you still have time today. If anyone needs help finding their polling place, let me know. You can also search it at:

EDIT:

As [u/Salt-n-Pepper-War](u/Salt-n-Pepper-War) said below, if you’re in line by 8 PM, stay in line: you are allowed to still vote as it’s the law.

If you’re not on the voters list when you check in to vote, or if your information on the list is wrong, you can cast a provisional ballot. Just ask for one.

Politics Check your candidate’s stand on Medicare for All before you vote today

119 Upvotes

Despite Medicare for all being in the state Democratic platform, this state (yes, we can do it here first) legislation has gotten nowhere for decades. If you go to the masscare.org website you can see whether the candidates you are choosing have pledged to support Medicare for all. Which, by the way, would save the state nearly $30 billion as well as saving 98% of us money, remove for-profit insurance companies from deciding care, and expand care to include dental, hearing, vision, and long-term care. Send people to the legislature who promise to sponsor & vote to support this critically needed legislation. Happy voting!

Politics REMEMBER: No political/campaign activity within 150 feet of voting locations, how to report:

33 Upvotes

MA Election Advisory #26-05 outlines electioneering is prohibited within 150 feet of polling locations and to report violations. To report:

- Alert the Presiding Officer at the location, this is usually the Warden (police officer at the site). If unavailable, alert an election worker at the site 

- ALSO CALL ACLU of MA at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to report these and other violations. Multiple violations already reported today.

Thank you for voting today and keeping election locations fair and safe!!

Hammerfall is one of my favorite bands and I'm finally seeing them in concert on September 16th. Just wanted to see if anyone else will be heading to the concert. I'm not from the area but wanted to meet up talk music or find cool things to do in Worcester.

Any recommendations? Let me know!
