IN TODAY'S PAPER I WAS JUST READING ABOUT REPORTS OF SUBPOENAS CAUSING A LOT OF SPECULATION REGARDING THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS. IT'S ON PAGE FIVE IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON IT.

It was an item in the paper's weekly "Sounds of Everett" column. And since you asked Massdee, it is reproduced below:
Report of subpoenas causing a lot of speculation
The rumor is loud that there might be some legal trouble brewing for a local person or two - possibly an Everett official. It's being alleged that some subpoenas have been delivered to certain people in town, and word has it that the investigation has something to do with the possible "misuse" of absentee ballots in a past election (not last fall's municipal election). Is it a grand jury probe? Are indictments on the horizon? Time will only tell - stay tuned.
If anybody is not aware, most of the articles from the Advocate are usually posted on their website, but not usually until Friday afternoon though. Occasionally, their website will have some additional content that doesn't appear in that week's paper. They have recently switched their website to the same format as the Independent has used for a while; but they don't have a full PDF copy of that's weeks paper posted to the site like the Independent does. |

Oh...I forgot, my opinion. I think that it is clear, if you read the actual law, that the way that some individuals that run for offices that are voted on in this city are probably abusing the letter of the absentee ballot law. And if you have broken the law, you have to be ready to pay the price
So this doesn't surprise me at all, especially since we know who was calling for this investigation and who the likely subject of the investgation is.
But that said, it really doesn't bother me all that much personally. I think that the Commonwealth is behind other states that have opened up the voting process to be more accessible and allow for other ways to vote. Perhaps someone could make it his mission to do something about that? |

FYI.
Usually, the "Sounds of Everett" column is among the articles that get posted to the paper's website every week. It wasn't this week. Make of that what you will. |
