To the editor:
I think it’s fair to say that this election was a truly epic undertaking—16 days from start to finish, 4,000 total votes cast (roughly half during the 100 hours of early voting). And we’d like to thank every one of you who helped to pull it off:
- from the volunteer poll workers who helped staff early voting as well as the polls;
- to our election chef, who kept us happily fed;
- to the DPW crew, who constructed some and installed all of our signage, not to mention setup and breakdown of the polling place;
- to the coordinated police presence at the polls, in the parking lot, and on escort duty;
- to the hospitality of Smith School staff;
- to the great coverage of the Lincoln Journal, the Lincoln Squirrel and local cable;
- to the volunteer support staff who helped us carry the load at the office;
- to the four high school students who took the initiative to sign up, train and serve as part of the closing team;
- to the Smith School teachers who made a visit to an operating polling place part of their curriculum that day;
- and, of course, to the indefatigable and indefatigably good-natured assistant and deputy town clerks and their likewise generous and patient families.
Well done! And thank you!
Sincerely,
Susan Brooks, Town Clerk
