Boston Registration Chokes as Voter Lists Fall Short
Last week Boston added names to the voting lists at under 600 per day, totaling 17,549. Indicators suggest a rise this week, but experts warn the rate will leave less than half of qualified voters registered, potentially disfranchising the city. To match last year’s figures 1500 daily additions are needed, or 7000 weekly to meet a 7000 estimate, still failing to reflect actual voting strength. Voters are urged to act promptly to prevent disenfranchisement.
