As a Chinatown resident, I was very displeased to find that the “sample ballot” handed out while I waited in line to vote yesterday was actually ILLEGAL propaganda being distributed to voters. The “sample ballots” were already filled-in, and I saw voters using the samples as references for their votes! They were being handed out by an “advocacy” group. I plan to do whatever it takes to bring attention to the illegal actions of the group.

Hi Ryan: Thanks for bringing light to this. Do you have a copy of this sample ballot and do you know which “advocacy” group was handing the filled sample ballots out? Formal complaints should be filed with the Boston City Elections Department.

Hi, I’m a journalist currently working on a story about how Chinese naturalized citizens vote and how/from whom they get their information to make their choice. Would it be possible to get Ryan’s email address?
I’m sorry for using the comment space as a fact finder, but I wasn’t sure how to contact the Chinatown Blogger.
