Boston Election Department switching over fully to electronic poll-books; I hope they know what they’re doing!
Using electronic poll-books at 275 precincts on election day is a much heavier lift than using them at ten early-voting locations. I hope they’ve covered all their bases!Something better to do

We'll see what they say at the training!

in reply to WuMing2 • • •Enrica Porcari as CIO at the UN WFP made a deal with #Palantir. Which made a deal with #Microsoft. Which was re-instated at #CERN by Enrica Porcari. Who is being promoted CIO at CERN.
