It was true. I was living with and related to one of the candidates, Ann Marie Cugno. She’s my second cousin on my mother’s side. In all the pre-vote preparations I’d made, it had never occurred to me that this would be an issue. Nor did it occur to me that registering to vote online (and again at the DMV) wouldn’t work in Medford.
If my fever had been less than 100 degrees, I would have said, “I didn’t know my rights were dependent on whether or not I was living with a candidate.”
I live in Medford, just north of Boston, on the Wellington stop of the Orange Line. My cousins and I live in an old, working class neighborhood. They have owned the house since the 20s and used to know all the families in the neighborhood. But in recent years, rising house prices have driven several residents away. My eldest cousin often points out the buildings getting flipped for rich tenants.
