Close of Registration in Boston Shows Reduced Totals
Boston totals indicate about 55,000 registered, with 52,043 by yesterday morning and a projected 4,090 added yesterday. September lists held 40,862, lower than typical years. Precincts by ward and overall city vote strength remain uncertain, though early figures hint at a largely Republican rating in the 14th ward area and limited GOP effort beyond Lodge district in Charlestown. Democrats likely face a small net loss versus prior expectations.
