BREAKING NEWS
MORE MEDFORD PROBLEMS WITH VOTING MACHINES
SEE LETTER FROM ADAM HURTUBISE, CITY CLERK, 4:09 PM - END OF THE DAY, OF COURSE...LESS THAN 4 HOURS TO GO
Dear Mr. Hurtubise,
Your letter in regards to problems with the voting is chilling for these reasons:
1)In July of 2015 I wrote to the FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation, that I believed that the 2015 election would be stolen
a)as I did social media for one of the candidates I was targeted. June 12 and 13 I was stalked by an ex-marine who published a photo she
took at my home with a bloody meat cleaver over my head. In court the judge ordered a FOUR YEAR harassment protection order against her
to protect me
b)3 days later City Clerk Ed Finn physically and verbally assaulted me @ city hall
c)a few days later a politician told me that Clerk Finn and his wife were bragging that Stephanie Muccini-Burke would "win" the election.
They spoke to that candidate at Stop & Shop
d)Richard F. Caraviello allegedly boasted that Muccini-Burke would "win" by 500 votes
e)Elysee Castor, part of Muccini-Burke's "transition team" allegedly bragged that he drove about 500 voters to the polls. We do not know if these
were registered voters. The allegation was that Castor "won" the election for Muccini-Burke. After I published the story Castor appears to have
been let go at his job at Medford Housing Authority, allegedly
f)There was a "broken computer chip" at one of the polling places, allegedly
g)outgoing mayor Michael J. McGlynn showed up at the Firefighter's Club AFTER the election at 8:01 pm. I took a photo of him
McGlynn was seen putting up signs for Muccini-Burke. I have a photo purportedly from this year of McGlynn putting up a Muccini-Burke sign
And now your letter:
Date: 11/5/19 4:09 PM (GMT-05:00)
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.

STAT SMITH AND COOPING
The elections in Medford have never been fair. This is about the McGlynn Dynasty, a dynasty that serves McGlynn and not the citizens he is taking advantage of. There is no way that McGlynn wants Breanna Lungo-Koehn in office. Lungo-Koehn needs to watch each polling place like a hawk. Mid-term elections without a vote for a president nationally tend to be soft, with few voters going out there it is easier for an incumbent to see who didn't show up and in the 11th hour have people double and triple voting using the names of voters who didn't show up on a particular day. Voters are blind and don't realize that this has been going on for over 100 years:
Cooping was an alleged form of electoral fraud in the United States cited in relation to the death of Edgar Allan Poe in October 1849,[1][2] by which unwilling participants were forced to vote, often several times over, for a particular candidate in an election.[3] According to several of Poe's biographers, these innocent bystanders would be grabbed off the street by so-called 'cooping gangs' or 'election gangs' working on the payroll of a political candidate, and they would be kept in a room, called the "coop", and given alcoholic beverages in order for them to comply. If they refused to cooperate, they would be beaten or even killed. Often their clothing would be changed to allow them to vote multiple times. Sometimes the victims would be forced to wear disguises such as wigs, fake beards or mustaches to prevent them from being recognized by voting officials at polling stations.[citation needed] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooping
EVERETT VOTER FRAUD - STEALING AN ELECTION RIGHT NEXT DOOR

‘Stat’ got sweet plea deal in Everett voter fraud

The feds didn’t make Stat Smith do the perp walk. There were no handouts of him stuffing absentee ballots down his pants, let alone into mailboxes. Hey, it’s not as if he’s Chuck Turner or Dianne Wilkerson or anything.
Stephen “Stat” Smith is the state representative from Everett. Or at least he was until last Tuesday, when he tendered his resignation as part of a plea bargain with federal prosecutors after he got caught passing around absentee ballots the way other people in Everett hand out football cards. House Speaker Bob DeLeo has got to find someone to take Stat’s place on the Joint Committee on Election Laws. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/01/06/did-rep-stephen-stat-smith-act-alone-election-fixing-case/L2butoqTt9TcHBil5fuQtJ/story.html
