It’s Election Day today and as part of my fieldwork I visited three polling stations around the South End, took photos and spoke to campaign officers and volunteers (who were very friendly and more than happy to pose for my camera). Apparently turnout is up on the primary and people are optimistic. As you can see there’s ample evidence in public space and around the city that an election is taking place as these three polling stations are all in a distance of a few blocks from each other.
