Today’s Worcester Telegram & Gazette<\/a> posted an article reporting on the charges of voter fraud during the November 2010 election.  <\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“The Election Commission last night discussed a response from the secretary of state’s office on allegations of voter fraud leveled after the Nov. 2 election.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many of the charges centered around the actions of a group called Neighbor to Neighbor (NTN) on election day.  The poll watchers charged that NTN volunteers accompanied voters into the voting booth, telling them how to vote, and in some cases filling out ballots for the voters.  <\/p>\n

According to the article, this is the response from the Secretary of State:<\/p>\n

\n

“The response, signed by Michelle K. Tassinam of the secretary of state’s Elections Division, instead outlined some of the election laws referenced in the original allegations, and asked for more information before it can make a definitive ruling.  She wrote that the secretary of state’s office would also be happy to set up a meeting to discuss the issues further.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I may have gotten cynical in my old age, but this strikes me as pollitical speak for “we are going to bury this for as long as possible and hope that we don’t have to act on it.”  Hopefully I am wrong on this.  One man–one vote is a cornerstone of our republic.  We need to respect that.<\/p>\n

According to one person who attended the meeting<\/p>\n

\n
“The Commission discussed updating the voter lists as required by law. Bonnie pointed out the appearance of a voter who had been listed twice, as both a Democrat and an Independent. She also discussed her challenge to a voter and the difficulty in how she was received when voicing that objection at a precinct on Election day. She pushed the Commission to respond to how an individual corrects this, what procedure does a voter follow when they are listed multiple times in a voter list. They discussed an annual street listing mailer with postage paid return card. There’s still a great deal to be done to clean up voter lists.”<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
We need honest elections in Massachusetts.  I hope that we can move toward them.<\/font><\/div>\n
