i bet healey sabotaged the machines of everyone who voted for deval patrick/mihos/ross.

this is my theory anyway.

also, speaking of grace ross, LOL at john dipetro getting the can..what a fool.

too bad for healy that she sucks at life and deval was projected as the winner 8PM the second the polls closed. haha. and regarding john dipreto...LOL is the only thing you can really say in this situation. what a moron.

man, we didn't even get machines. we had paper ballots. although i think that might be a good thing.

yeah massachusetts is weird, because while we use paper ballots (yay!) we feed them into a machine like a standardized test and it counts the votes (boo). i like that we have a paper trail, but i don't like that i could hear paper ripping/crunching when the poll worker opened the machine.

I didn't get to vote, because, ONCE AGAIN, my stupid town didn't send me an absentee ballot. I've told them every year my school address and to send me an absentee ballot, and the only time they've sent me one was for the presidential election two years ago. Apparently they think that people my age only care about who gets elected president. Um, other people matter too (ridiculous thinking on their part considering I go and vote in every town election in June when I'm home). Grr!
