Vote often
Vote early
for James Michael Curley
– Campaign ditty of former Boston mayor.
I have voted in every election since 1979 or so, save for one primary election.
Now, your voting record is public record – not what or whom you voted for, but whether you voted. Today, campaigners try to correlate this information and target the sure voters.
I believe this year I was tagged as a Supervoter. I was getting 10-12 campaign messages a day on the phone, and stacks of mail from every candidate.
