Editorial on Democratic caucus apathy and Republican list manipulation

The piece argues low turnout in the Democratic caucus may reflect voters seeking access to the Republican meeting next Monday. It details extensive disenfranchisement in the Republican list, with 3869 names erased across real estate, registry, and personal voter rolls, and quotes town officials denying any deal with Democrats while defending the new caucus law as a bulwark against political corruption. Citizens note the list appears to blur party lines, disenfranchising many Republicans the town committee opposes, and warn the tactic could backfire politically.
