THIS POST WAS WRITTEN ON NOV. 5
ON SUNDAY NOV. 10TH I'M UPDATING THE TOP PARAGRAPHS:
IS Muccini-Burke's CITY HALL SCAMMING THIS ELECTION? - Big Red Flag on Election day and it wasn't enough for the disciples of Michael J. McGlynn, was it?
IS VOTER FRAUD OCCURRING IN A CITY WHERE A QUARTER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS DISCIPLINED FOR ALLEGED 'COMPENSATION FRAUD" ??
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT MUCCINI-BURKE DID NOT GET THE VOTES THEY CLAIM SHE DID. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THEY CHEATED BOB PENTA IN 2015, AND THERE IS EVIDENCE TO BACK MY CLAIM UP STARTING WITH A JULY 2015 LETTER TO THE FBI ABOUT ALLEGED 'STAT SMITH' STYLED VOTER FRAUD - LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN EVERETT.
BUT! BREANNA WON THE DAY!
I BELIEVE BREANNA LUNGO-KOEHN WON BY AN EVEN WIDER MARGIN
LOOK AT THIS LETTER AND SEE THE MYRIAD PROBLEMS WE'VE FACED IN MEDFORD ELECTIONS WITH A FORMER MAYOR LURKING AROUND IN THE DARK OF NIGHT.
I'VE BEEN INVESTIGATING THESE INDIVIDUALS FOR ALMOST A DECADE AND A HALF. AND YOU'VE SEEN HOW MANY TIMES WE'VE BEEN 'SPOT ON,' TO QUOTE MY FORMER EDITOR AT THE MEDFORD TRANSCRIPT,
NELL ESCOBAR COAKLEY
YOU BE THE JUDGE, AS THE NOW-DEFUNCT TV3 WOULD OFTEN SAY.
YES, WE JUDGED THEM AND WE DUMPED THEM. SAME WITH MCGLYNN
HALLELUJAH!

Subject: Two Incidents at Polling Places Today
Dear Candidates:
In the interests of transparency and full disclosure, I am calling to your attention to two separate incidents that occurred today during voting.
First, the ImageCast voting machine at the Brooks School, Ward 6, Precinct 2 (6-2), malfunctioned at approximately 8:59 this morning. The machine was jamming repeatedly and catching ballots within the feeding mechanism, causing ripples and tears in the ballots. In these instances, our protocol is to dispatch an official from LHS Associates, our voting machine vendor, to the site for diagnostics and any necessary repairs. Our consultant, Linda Corrigan, visited 6-2 and made sure that the machine was working properly. The damaged ballots are considered spoiled and the poll warden treated them accordingly and then issued new ballots to affected voters.
The poll warden at 6-2 called again at about 11:20 a.m. to say that the problem had resumed. Ms. Corrigan, with a police escort, brought a spare ImageCast voting machine out to the Brooks School at about noontime. Ms. Corrigan determined that the malfunctioning voting machine needed to be replaced. She verified the time, 12:20 P.M., and verified that 424 ballots had been cast, then powered down the machine, cut the security seals and removed the discs that contain the voting data.
She inserted those original discs into the new machine, verified that 424 ballots had been cast, and printed a result tape confirming that number. She then placed new security seals on the machine. Voting resumed without incident. To preserve voter confidentiality and the integrity of the voting process during the time that the machine was down, the poll warden placed the twenty ballots cast during that time into the empty auxiliary compartment. Once the new machine was operating, the poll warden placed those twenty uncast ballots into the machine and they were cast.
There have been no further incidents with any of our voting equipment. The machine that malfunctioned has been sealed and locked in a vault under my control and will be taken to LHS Associates for repairs after the election is certified. I am fully confident in the reliability of the voting data on the discs from the original machine, and that the data was successfully transferred to the spare machine. I am also fully confident that there has been no impact to the integrity of the voting process.
Second, during the time that the voting machine was being replaced at the Brooks School, Election Consultant Sandra Gale and I were called to the Gantcher Center to resolve a situation in which two poll workers were behaving unprofessionally to the poll warden and to the police officer on duty at the Gantcher Center. That unprofessional behavior did not have anything to do with election activity or voting. We attempted to persuade the poll workers to correct their inappropriate behavior. One of the poll workers promised to correct her behavior but her male colleague refused our repeated requests that he do so. Ms. Gale and I then ordered the male poll worker to leave the polling place. The male poll worker refused to leave the building.
At that point, the Medford Police Officer assigned to the polling place attempted to arrest the male poll worker. The male poll worker then assaulted the police officer, and while the police officer was attempting to restrain the male poll worker, the female poll worker assaulted first the police officer and then Ms. Gale. Both poll workers were arrested and removed from the Gantcher Center.
While one voter was present at the Gantcher Center when Ms. Gale and I first arrived, no voters were present in the polling place as the situation escalated. There was no impact to any voter and there was no impact on the election process. Both poll workers have been replaced by new poll workers.
While I remain fully confident in our work to ensure a full, fair, accurate and transparent voting process, and while I remain fully confident in both the vote totals and the integrity of the voting process itself, transparency demands that I alert you to these issues that arose today.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
