Men Listed In Two Precincts In City Voting
The Democratic ward chairmen met President Fitzgerald at the Washington street HQ to discuss police listing. They cited that in Precincts 5 and 7 of Ward 1 some Chelsea voters appear in both precincts. Ward 20 shows 1150 names the police missed. Ward 18 shows a similar ratio. Fitzgerald urges listing eligible voters over chasing floaters, noting 10 Republican wards lost more voters than 15 Democratic wards, and estimates 15,000 to 20,000 names overlooked by police, with aims to add them by Sept 1.
