This statement in practical terms translates to \u201cHey you minority voters \u2013 your vote won&#8217;t count\u201d. The hallmark of leadership is to inspire, mobilize and organize those whose voice does not count &#8211; with a resounding \u201cYES WE CAN\u201d. With all the confusion created by redistricting and the fact that it is a non-presidential primary, this statement will dampen the spirit of the minority voters and will encourage them to sit out the election. Is this why Ms. Shepard has a volunteer team primarily consisting of white people from North Framingham? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is no progressivism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;58892&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VOTER SUPPRESSION 2<br>By now the voters of the 6th Middlesex Legislative District are feeling the burn of redistricting fiasco. 4th Middlesex (linked with Marlborough) now has Precincts 21B, 22, 23 (21B is a subprecinct) of Framingham 19 Worcester (other boroughs, Southboro, Westboro ETC ) now has precinct 21A It used to be that higher precinct numbers were in the South side and the lower precinct numbers on the North side. It has now flipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The South side was labelled 7th Legislative District and the North side as 6th Legislative District. Now it is the other way around \u2013 it has flipped. South side is District 6 and North side is District 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can imagine the confusion \u2013 particularly among the minority voters. While door knocking, I heard this issue again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Precinct 9 has been split into 9A and 9B, with 9A in District 7 and 9B in District 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[broadstreet zone=&#8221;59946&#8243;]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, all these redistricting takes effect from Jan 2023. All these were done so that the legislator from the current Southside District 7 can be labelled \u201cIncumbent\u201d. I wonder if a judicial intervention will overturn the redistricting for being unconstitutional \u2013 voter disenfranchisement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be noted, the same legislator was a vocal opponent of a recent House Rules Amendment \u2013 which would have made committee voting public \u2013 including those who ABSTAINED, which often kills good bills. What does he have to hide? Shepard is fully on board with this, as this legislator is one of her key endorsers.
