Chris recaps the October 11 Election Commission meeting that was a follow-up on problems with the recent Worcester primary, most of them surrounding voters being put on the “inactive voter” list and Tea Party pollwatchers being kicked out of the polls.

We recap what’s known about the Andrianopoulos kidnapping and expect the story will become less confusing when Christina returns to the US this weekend.

Worcester Magazine has a writeup. I’m a little surprised that the T&G, which ran so many detailed articles about OW last October & November, didn’t mention the anniversary.
There’s also some video online. And notes.
