I am deeply grateful to the many folks who, as private citizens, organized and attended standouts, demonstrations, and learning opportunities to remind us all to vote, to be informed and to encourage others to vote as well. I also appreciate those who wrote postcards, staffed phone banks and knocked on doors during this election season. These volunteers made their voices heard multiple times.
There’s one group of individuals who must also be recognized. The town and city clerks throughout Massachusetts and the rest of the nation did their jobs. They did their jobs well, honored their oaths, and supported voters of all stripes who cast ballots by mail, early or in person. I must say bravo.
