The Boston Globe is reporting, that a Republican candidate [Jack Villamaino] decided to try and win a primary by sending in hundreds of absentee ballots on behalf of hundreds of voters.
State election officials were tipped off to the potential voter fraud when a suspiciously large number of residents of the Springfield suburb of East Longmeadow suddenly changed party registration from Democrat to independent, making them eligible to vote in the upcoming Republican primary.
Before Scott Brown or any other Republican operative claim this as another "Democratic machine" hit job. Marie Angelides, the other Republican candidate tipped off the officials when she was getting information at the town clerk's office pertaining to registered Republican voters who were requesting absentee ballots.
As they gathered the list and started following up on the requests and contacting these voters, they found that they didn't request any such ballot. In fact some of them were not even registered Republicans, they were registered Democrats.
Spencer H. Kimball, *Angelides’s attorney said,
“We recognized there may be a problem,” since some of those listed as requesting Republican absentee ballots were “hard-core Democrats, includ*ing members of the Town Democratic Committee and a retired judge.” At that point, Kimball contacted Secretary of State *Galvin’s office. “Something was really wrong,”
Medeiros goes on to correctly note: <span style='font-size: 17pt'>"So, Massachusetts Republicans, <u>its not the voters you have to worry about, its your own candidates. Now can we stop complaining about poor people voting and clean up your own party.</u>" </span></div></div>
