Boston Globe: Large voter turnout unsettles small races

The Boston Globe notes that the high-interest in the Presidential race, along with several hot-button ballot questions, could have an impact on smaller races. The big turnout may “create uncertainty in some of the races lower on the ballot, including legislative and county posts.”

Republican Thomas E. Gorman of Dedham is running for county commissioner on a platform of abolishing county government. Gorman… is vying with Democratic incumbents Francis W. O’Brien of Dedham and John M. Gillis of Quincy and independent Michael F. Walsh of Westwood in a four-way race for two seats.
