Every vote counts

It is an old adage and well worth repeating that every vote counts. You only need to look to the vote in Natick for proof. The vote for town moderator resulted in a tie with 1,772 votes cast for each candidate.

The two candidates, incumbent Paul Connolly and challenger Frank Foss, each received 1,772 votes in the March 27 election.

Initially, it appeared that Connolly had won by a single vote. But then the town conducted a dramatic, daylong recount at Natick Town Hall on April 13. Newly elected Town Clerk Judi Kuhn and other town officials discovered a missing ballot tucked away in a ballot box at a middle school. The vote was for Foss.


Natick is about the size of Franklin
4,000 voters came out for the election
This could happen here

What can we do to avoid this?

Get everyone out to vote. Each and every vote counts!

Vote May 22!
Vote May 22!
Vote May 22!
