(Tell us what you know. WBUR reports that turnout in (Democratic) Lawrence and Lowell is very light; "very steady" in (GOP) Chelmsford; and some 21% have voted in Concord. (?) I wouldn't say that's good news for Tsongas -- but that's why they count the votes. - promoted by Charley on the MTA)
[UPDATE by Charley: Lynne just called -- a reputable source says Niki stomps in Concord -- 3-1 ratio, wins by 2000. Not too surprising, but good to hear. More from Lynne: Niki wins by 600 in Maynard, lost Dracut by 2-1 ratio, lost Methuen and Dunstable by small margins. So far Niki's ahead in Lowell 56-43%.] Just got back from voting in Andover. Tsongas was there greeting voters as they trickled in to the polls. There were a few Tsongas sign holders, and absolutely NO Ogonowski sign holders or signs anywhere in sight. I was number 424 to vote in my precinct (2), which is about the same number I was when I voted in the primary, so based on my purely anecdotal observation I'd venture to say that whatever the turnout was for the primary will probably be about what the turnout is for the general. What has anyone else seen/heard in other parts of the fightin fith? |
