Remember to Vote!

Today is the special election to fill the US Senate seat formerly held by Sen Ted Kennedy.

If your household is anything like mine, you have been inundated with mailings and phone calls from both parties. You'll probably be glad the election is over.

So do us all a favor and get out and vote!

Don't pay attention to the polls, the only poll that counts is the one at Franklin High School when you mark your ballot and turn it it to be counted. Your vote does count.

Franklin Town Clerk Deborah Pellegri said throughout the day Friday, people stood in line at her office for absentee ballots.

"We are very very busy," said Pellegri. "I think turnout will be very good, it's an important position. There's been a lot of publicity and that will draw people in. There's an interest."
