commented for the first time that Massachusetts was late coming to this for a blue state. Too bad you saw that as a complaint.

Did fight about the absentee ballots to the City of Boston and the Secretary of State, though, on behalf of the wife of a man in a nurse home, who had given up because she was tired of fighting. Got a run around at first, but I persisted. I do know that Boston will now send out the ballots to everyone without a new doctor's letter every year.

Don't know if my efforts helped or not. Don't know if that was complaining or activism. I only tried to help someone who was beaten down by a combination of her age, her circumstances and the system.
