The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Preliminary Election Update


For John, BLUF:  Be sure to vote.  Nothing to see here; just move along.


From a Press Release from the Lowell Election Commission (Joseph Mullen, Chairman, Pat McCartin, Tom O'Brien and Thel Sar) we know that there will be a Preliminary Election, to winnow down the number of Candidates for City Council.  Preliminary Election as opposed to a Primary Election.

The Election will be Tuesday, 29 September 2015.

That means the deadline to register to vote is Wednesday, 9 September 2015.♠

That means the deadline for an absentee ballot will be Noon Monday, 28 September 2015.

Regards  —  Cliff

♠  Yes, it would be nice if we had same-day registration.  But, like everything else it will cost us money to do that.  So, what is the trade-off?  How many people would take advantage of this opportunity?  Why didn't they behoove themselves to register by 9 September?  And, of course, there is always the integrity-of-the-election question.  What is the chance someone could exploit this to stuff the ballot box?
