Tuesday, Nov 3: Election Day

Well, I voted. I have voted now. Let me tell you something. Look, I'm sorry. Tim's wrong. I didn't vote for Maura Healey. I voted for Mike Minogue. I am really optimistic, guys, about our republic. I have to be honest with you. I went and voted. I'd heard from one of the police, my good friend Kevin Cobbs, a retired lieutenant. 3,200 early votes cast in Fairhaven. Now, does that help Maura Healey or does it help Mike Minogue? I don't know enough about the data at this point to tell you, but I can tell you that Fairhaven right now is nonstop, and what a great group of volunteers primarily, and some lightly paid individuals down there in Fairhaven. And it's going on all across the Commonwealth, and I always make sure that I'm pleasant and thankful, say thanks to the people who would work in the polls today. Including the police, it is, boy, I gotta tell you, it just makes me proud to be an American. There's a lot of moments in my daily life that make me proud to be an American, and few more than election day. And when you get down there and you see everybody voting, and you realize that a lot of them are voting opposite of me and you, but they're voting, and they're thinking people, and they're taking time out of their day. And let me say this to you. That ballot, it's no joke. It's two pages, double-sided, double-sided. Marcus Farrow took me over, and I came out of there and I said, Marcus, I need a glass of water and some carbohydrates now. I mean, it's a big exercise in democracy. And so make sure you get a good idea of the ballot questions, but don't be intimidated. I mean, I got right through it. It felt good to vote. I hope you get out and vote. Go through all the ballot questions, a lot of contested elections on there. So hopefully you'll get out and vote. It's worth it. In other words, this one there's plenty to vote for. So and you can have a real impact and vote. Hopefully you've had a good idea through the conversations we've had here. And there's been a lot of other conversations out there as well. Hopefully you've had that opportunity to get really think about these ballot questions. And what you think is in your best interest. And there's a lot there's a lot to vote for. There really is. There's the US Senate. And for the first time that I know there's a real actual communist on the ballot. And he's got local endorsements. Marcus Coward, who's taken out a campaign to run for school committee, no rather city council. He ran for school committee, almost got on the school committee, has endorsed communist on the ballot for US Senate. So you've got a communist for the first time I think in my life, no, not my lifetime, because Angela Davis, but I wasn't voting then. But in my voting life, we've got a communist on the, an official communist, not a hidden one. This guy's running as the Party for Socialism and Liberation. They were real hardcore Marxist, and they advertise it, everything else. And he got local endorsements by a Democrat, Marcus Coward, who's running for the city council. He took out paperwork already with OCPF. So you may have an official communist, although he's running as a Democrat. So maybe that's a little less official. Maybe you already got some of those on the city council. But anyway, there's a wide variety of choices. I voted for Mike Minogue. Last time around, I voted for Maury Healy, but I voted a split ticket. I voted for Chris Markey, voted for Mark Montigny, Joe Ferreira. I voted for John Deaton for US Senate. Mike Minogue for governor, Tyler McAllister for Congress, and of course I voted no on nine. Guys, I don't care if you own firearms or not. I predict most of you don't. It's about civil rights. It's a much broader question than the Second Amendment. It's all the amendments and whether the government can vote to eliminate them. So if you care about civil rights, if you know anything The only thing about the civil rights movement, I think you really got to. Vote no on nine, or blanket, or blanket, but if you understand civil rights, I really think you got to vote no on nine, but do whatever you think's in your best interest, which is to vote no on nine, or blank the question, 508-996-05, I enjoyed Tim's show, if you want to call in and say who you voted for, what you voted for, why you did, open phones guys, all I ask is no candidates call in. I talked to management about it because we had some candidates asking and because of equal time and all of that, we will not allow or I cannot allow political candidates to call in. But if your supporters want to call in, by all means, 508-996-0500. That's how you get on there and we'll give you a little bit of time to explain why you did. And all that, even if it's totally insane. In fact, I look forward to the totally insane people calling up to tell me why they did what they did. But make sure you get out and vote. And remember, it's a little bit of a long process. So I actually had to text him. Hey, I'm across the street. I'll be there in a minute. I knew he would cover me, but I just wanted to make sure he knew I was on my way. Okay, what should I do? I'll just go right to the phone. Good morning, my friend. Thanks for calling. What's on your mind? Good morning, Chris. Did you vote for Maura Healey? I didn't this time. I voted for Mike Minogue, but I mixed the ticket up. I did vote for some Democrats. I'm just kidding with you. I know that you did. Oh, my God. But you know what? Yeah, go ahead. She's going to win. That's my prediction. I know that don't sit well with a lot of people, but I think she'll win, even though I'm not really crazy about her. What I wanted to say was, I was watching, you know, the U.S. news last night and how they closed like 94 polling stations in Texas and people were out there for hours and hours and hours to vote. What's your thoughts on something like that? I got to tell you, I think. Voting delayed is voting denied, okay? I'll give you a good example. This morning, I was crowded for time, but I was going to vote. And I have a very understanding management over here. So we're a team. We work together. But for some people, it's not like that. And any time voting is delayed, it's voting denied, in my opinion. Because I think a lot of people don't stick it out. They leave. They got a tight schedule. So I think it's an outrageous thing. It is. It is. You know, I was watching it, and I'm going like, you know, people on this radio station and others, mostly conservatives, I would say all conservatives, you know, why don't they speak up when it comes to things that are just flat wrong? voter suppression in that way. You know, for people to sit out there in Texas for hours and hours and hours just to vote, and the reason why they're in that situation is because they closed all the polling stations where they couldn't vote prior. It's something that this station never talks about, but sometimes- Well, I don't know how much impact we have in Texas elections, to be honest. I do have a couple of listeners down there, people who left under Maura Healey to move to Texas. So we have a handful of listeners in Texas. But I know when it comes to polls here, when they ran out of ballots, which is another form of voter suppression locally, we were all over that. And I heard earlier that some of the machines are down in New Bedford. I don't know anything about it. I heard that on Tim's show. I totally agree with you. A hundred percent. 100%. You know, but to all some of the conservatives that call up and whine about voter suppression, you know, sometimes, like my dad used to say, a monkey doesn't see its own tail. Thank you for the call, my friend. Yeah, and by the way, I don't know. How many of those voting stations that he just mentioned in Texas are conservative precincts or liberal precincts, inner city precincts, you know? They're saying it's Texas could go blue. So I don't know. I just know that here we've run out of ballots. I know I was very close and I was very integral to Scott Lang's campaign when he ran for mayor, very much involved in that. And I did the schedule for the lawyers that we had round the clock lawyers available to go to City Hall, the elections office, when Scott Lang ran for mayor. Because there were concerns, and they turned out to be unfounded because Scott overwhelmingly won. But if precincts begin to run out of ballots. And you decide what precincts should get ballots and what precincts maybe don't get ballots as quickly. That all is a type of voter suppression. And it's mostly rumored rather than fulfilled, but you've got to be aware of it. And we've seen, I think it's more incompetence than intentional skullduggery. But how do you know, right? How do you know? 508-996-05, guys, I see you on hold. I want to get to every one of you, but I got to take off. Quick break, then we'll be right back. It's election day. Get out and vote. Back to Chris McCarthy and South Coast now on WBSN. Call 508-996-0500. Welcome back to the program. It's election day. Please get out there and vote. However you're going to vote, make sure you get out and vote. Again, guys, as Scott Lang has been saying with his personally paid for ads here on WBSN, it's important. The state officials know that South Coast votes. Fairhaven, Acushnet, New Bedford, Dartmouth, Freetown, Westport. You gotta get out and vote, so they take us more seriously. That's what it comes down to. It really does. So it seems simplistic, but there's a lot of complexities underneath that. So you in Rainham, you in Middleborough. Ewan Wareham, Marion Mattapoisett, get out and vote. Rochester, get out and vote. Lakeville, Freetown, get out and vote. Let's go back to the phones. Good morning. Thank you for holding. Good morning, Chris. Mike Lima, what's going on? Well, the day's here. Yes, sir. Tom Hodgson said something last Friday on your show that I think a lot of people should take his advice and do today. And that was to have a little cheat sheet. The answers to the nine questions are already on a piece of paper, so you just have to look at it and then mark that little circle, yes or no. I think that's important because if you're going to read every one of those questions while you're in the little ballot box or whatever you want to call the little area you vote in, I think the lines are going to be outrageous, especially. In the evening when usually, as you well know, people really come out to vote after work, let's call it between like four and seven. Yeah, no, I would agree with you. But it was really busy this morning, too. I mean, it was like, I'm telling you, I am so excited for our republic that all these people are getting out to vote. It's really good. See, I have a problem, and I really made a big mistake. I should have went early voted, because . I lost my leg. The only thing I never fully recovered from, and it's been five years now, believe it or not, is I cannot stand in a stationary position in line for a long period of time. I'm with you. I don't know why, but I start to lose my balance, which obviously isn't good. I really screwed up this time. I didn't take into consideration. The nine questions, I kind of... Mike, let me ask you a question. Do you still, I'm sure you do, still have a walker? You know those walkers? I used them really effectively when I was learning to walk again. Thank you again. You know, the kind with the handles, you stand in front of it. No, no, I know exactly what you're talking about. And somewhere underneath my bed is a walker. Okay, because that may help you. And I also have a cane. I, you know, Chris. I need to get over this, and my wife continues to tell me this. I don't like using the mountain public. I don't know. I don't want to say this, but I guess I have to label myself. I'm too proud. Mike, I get it. I was always a big, strong guy. Yes, same. You know, so it really bothers me. You know, the cane not so much as the walker. All I live on the second floor. I get up and down 14 stairs, up and down at least twice a day. I really don't have no issue except like when I'm in Market Basket. right. But I use a cot now and I have for the last few years, the handicap cots. Thank But I could never, I was always having a problem standing in line to cash out. And I've gone through therapy and stuff, and I just don't know what it is. And I got a great, I got a $20,000, and I'm not bragging, I got a $20,000 hydraulic prosthetic. If you see me, if I got long pants on, I like to wear shorts. you. You can't tell that. No, Mike, I know when I see you, you can't tell. Here's what I would say to you, my friend. Take it from someone who's in a similar circumstance. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Use the walker, use the cane, whatever you need today to get out and vote, and then early vote next time around. But don't punish yourself. Don't beat yourself up. You're a survivor. I wanted to say that yesterday, and I forgot to say it over the radio. Write down your answers to the nine questions. Put it in your wallet or your pocket, whatever it may be. I'll have those answers ready. The lines ain't out the door, and people start getting frustrated and get back in their car and go back home because they're not standing in line for an hour. Help each other out, especially the elderly. You know, Chris, 68 years old, and I hate, and my wife, my wife is funny, and I say, man, that guy looks old. She says, hey, she says, you're old. It beats the alternative, Mike. It beats the alternative. It does. Chris, you have a great day. You too, my friend. Thank you. Don't forget me. Don't forget me later on. I won't. I won't, Mike. Thanks for sharing, my man. 508-996-0. We're all in this together. So give everybody a break. Get out and vote. And give yourself plenty of time. And do a little homework ahead of time if that's what you need. I've got a really good memory. And I live this stuff. But even I was slowed down a little bit at all those questions. So read them closely and take your time. Take your time. They will leave the polls open if people are in line. So don't give up your spot. Just get there early enough and keep a good schedule. All right, guys, let's go right back to the phones. Good morning, Mike Jansen. Hey, Chris McCarthy, how you doing? I'm doing great, how are you? All right. I voted. They were in line at 7 o'clock over here at Buttonwood Park at the Warman House. Excellent. There was a line. But then 8 o'clock, it calmed right down. Like you say, people vote between 5 and 7 if they vote. Yeah, but I voted. And it's going to be a chore. God bless Mike Lehman, God bless that guy. Oh, yeah. I, uh... I voted. I only voted for three Democrats, local people, not Mike Montigny. I'll tell you who I voted for that were Democrats, because they're moderates. They don't believe in pulling a baby out of a womb and sticking a needle in its heart. They're moderates. I voted for Chris Saunders. John Saunders and Chris Mack. Me too. I voted for some other Democrats too, but I voted for those three guys. I know them all really well, and I'd like to see them continue or get the new job. Yeah, I thought this would be a day where people would go dump Maura Healey, but I got a funny feeling it's not going to happen. I'm not sure about that. I'm really not. I'm really not sure, I gotta tell you. Yeah, I'm up against you, but But it's, in this state, if you were to def your name, you could be a child molester or a murderer, and you get the vote. That is true, that has happened. We've had both murderers and child molesters. You're solid in this foolish state. I don't know, people's electric bills, people's utility bills might have pushed them far enough. Here's what I thought Mike Minogue should do, and I'm going to explain what went down with your electric bills. Three years ago, Eversource had the worst credit rating of any company, any public utilities company in the country. So they couldn't borrow money because they had the worst credit rating of anyone. So they couldn't borrow money for infrastructural improvements or upkeep because of their mismanagement. They were mismanaged. So the lobbyists, and this is why we've got to get rid of lobbyists. Never mind Maura Healey. We've got to dump all these lobbyists, too. Because they're too influential. They're hurting the quality of life of the people in this country, lobbyists. But here's what Eversource did because they were. They couldn't borrow. The lobbyists went to Maura Healey and pled with her to allow Eversource, you know, to allow the public utilities commissioners, the three that she appointed, to allow Eversource to go up 350% on the delivery charges. And that's what all your bills stem from. So she has a direct impact. She is responsible. For your utility bills to go up. Now she can window dress it and say that she's going to do this to help lower it but that's not going to happen. Shameful. God bless you, Chris. Thanks, Mike Jansen. I do appreciate it. Thanks for getting out and voting. We all appreciate that. 508-996-0500. That's how you can get on the air. Again, no candidates, please. But their supporters are more than welcome to call it and say who they voted for and why they did it. And we'll give you plenty of time. I'm happy to do it. You want to make a prediction, that's great, too, as well. Good morning. Thanks for calling, Jim. Good morning, Chris. And, you know, you and I have been at this long enough that I can just say it straight to you. If you were to pick a budget line item that were the lowest possible priority in any city or town budget, it would be elections. I think you're right, yeah. And I have to say this about that. One of the reasons that many towns went to some sort of machine type or computer type and the infamous hanging chads, which I won an election in 1980 by three votes due to hanging chads, by the way, 20 years before they got their popularity. The fact of the matter is, is it costs money to have elections. And when I had a recount in my 1980 state rep primary campaign, they had three types of balloting. Bridgewater had punch cards. East Bridgewater had machines that you went in and pulled a curtain, and then there were levers, little things you'd turn next to the candidate's name that indicated your vote. And they had a recount, and the only place the count came out the same. On the recount, as on the day of the election, were those dirty, little, hard-to-count paper ballots. And to me, that is the only—if you want to have an honest, fair election, you're going to have to go back to paper ballots and hand-count them, and you're going to have to pay for it. And I just don't see that as an idea who people of another certain generation that never saw them in the first place is going to support. But I think people are underestimating how much elections cost. Police details, paid election workers, facility rentals and so forth. I voted for three Democrats today. I voted for Diana DiZaglio, state auditor. I voted for Tom Hoy, the registrar of probate. I voted for Tom, too, yeah. And I'm voting for my local state representative, incumbent Democrat Dennis Gallagher. But other than that, on the statewide races. are right down the way. I voted for McAllister for U.S. House also. And on the questions, I'm a yes on one and two. And an absolute, the hardest no vote I have ever cast on question three and four. Those two things are a bigger threat. To democracy than any nonsense you want to bring up about voter fraud or impersonation. Four is same-day registration, right? Four is same-day registration. And Secretary of State Bill Galvin, who isn't the worst person who ever had his name on a ballot in Massachusetts, that, of course, would be Elizabeth Warren, but it's close. Bill Galvin, when this came up once before as a referendum question, He said he would only support it if you could immediately, upon a person walking up, registering and voting, immediately inform every other polling place in the Commonwealth, instantaneously, to prevent multiple voting. Right. And the other thing, and this is because you know I'm against early voting. Yes. But you realize that if you run for office and you've done it, And, you know, people don't wear little armbands that say registered or not registered. You're telling me that I've campaigned for how many months, for weeks, countless hours, and somebody whose name never appeared on a voter list anywhere walks right by me into a 150-foot zone where I can't campaign, becomes a voter, and then votes in my contested office. No, it's outrageous. That's a violation. You want another violation of the First Amendment? There's one right there. And interestingly enough, question three, I've read the summary and I've read the arguments for and against, and I don't know if it's factual or not, but the people against it of whom I am one, it says third party, meaning minor parties, Green Party, Communist Party. There are several parties outside of the Democrat and Republican parties in Massachusetts. This says third party and independent candidates would be shut out of the general election. I don't know if that's true or not. I think it could be true, but I don't know. It's not because it'll be such a jump ball. Basically, with question three, the top two candidates, regardless of party affiliation, will rise to the general election. So it could be that a Green Party candidate or a Communist Party candidate could get more votes, or it could just be the same traditional parties get the most votes. I don't know. But what about a poor kid from Rainham who ran for the state Senate as a non-party candidate? Would I be barred from the ballot because I wasn't on the primary ballot? That's what this says here. I think there's a lot of skullduggery out there, though. You know that, Jim. Well, thank you for being generous with your time. But you understand that this whole red book here was approved by Andrea Campbell. Yes. I'm shaking my head now. And there were three questions that didn't even make it on the ballot. Because when she writes the summary, and then proponents and opponents submit, you know, arguments for and against, and she edits them. But there were three questions that didn't get put on the ballot. Let's not confuse people, Jim. I appreciate it. Let's deal with just the nine questions, which is plenty, that are on the ballot. If you're on hold, stay there. If you want to get on hold, I've got one open line now. 508-996-0050. We'll be right back. Stick around. South Coast Now with Chris McCarthy. Weekdays on 1420 AM and 99.5 FM. WBM. WBSM. Welcome back to the program. It's election day. Did you see that ad from Chris Markey? Look, I appreciate when candidates of different stripes. By advertising here on WBSM, because they're targeting you. They want your vote. It's not about me. It's not about Tim. It's not about Barry. It's about you, the audience. That's who they're looking to get a vote from. So Chris Markey's here looking for your vote. 508-996-0500. Again, no candidates, but their supporters certainly can call in. Good morning. Thank you for holding. Yes, how you doing? Good. How you doing? Good, good one. I was at New Manor and there was 13,483 votes as of 9.30 this morning. That's a big number. Yeah, it is. Ward 1. 1C, I believe. How do you think that, who do you think that helps or hurts? I hope it helps all the new governor, but no. So you think it helps the Republicans? I really want to see the Republicans come in and make a big change. Yeah, we could use it, right? Yes, we could. Hey, thank you, my friend. Thank you for the call. Thanks for the information, guys. Big turnout at Nomand, and that doesn't surprise me. Ward 1 gets out and votes. We know that. Good morning. Thanks for holding. Hey, good morning, Chris. Hey, what's happening? I already did my voting with my wife. First time in South Carolina. Can I relate to kind of what the differences are down here? Sure, please do. I'm curious. Okay, so first thing is voting registration ends 30 days prior to any election down here. So you have to plan to vote and you have every right to vote, but you got to plan to vote so they can organize things. Um, second is when you walk into the voting place, the first thing they ask you, uh, in front of a computer, it's not a, it's not a pad of paper with a bunch of addresses on it. It's a computer. And they say, can you hand me your license or your voter registration card? So you can vote with either one. The voter registration card doesn't have a photo on it, but it has your voter voter ID number and then your information, including your address. But the interesting thing is they look at it, they scan my license, and then they turned around and said, can you recite your address, please? So I don't have my card in my hand. I have to actually tell them what my address is. Oh, that's interesting. So I'm not pointing at a sheet of paper. So I recited my address back, and she said, hand my card back. And then you get a blank ballot. It's a sheet of paper that's like four inches wide by like 16 inches long. It's literally just blank with a little cut on one corner. So you walk over to the voting booth like they have in Massachusetts and there's a computer in there and you slide in the empty ballot. And at that point, you're voting on the computer and it prints off your ballot at the end. And you take your ballot over and then you slide it into the voting machine and then you're done. So that's kind of a little different, but I don't think anyone can cheat their way in to a voting booth by saying, oh, that's me on the piece of paper or you don't have an ID. I mean, you can't vote without now the registration card. Anyone can get a million different ways. You can get it at the post office. You can sign up. You can sign up at the registration for your car or any place at all. And then that comes in the mail, and it's a little card that is cut out, and you can walk in with that. So you don't have to go get a photo ID, none of that. So it still works. But that's the story. Hey, that's good. I appreciate that, my friend. Yeah. I saw a bunch of people at the polls, Jay Lanigan, of course Marcus Farrow brought me over, Lieutenant Kevin Cobbs are retired, Fairhaven Police is working the polls, keeping everybody safe. And orderly, it's a great operation here in Fairhaven. If you're getting any problems out there voting, no matter where you are, our enormous listening audience, give us a call at 508-996-0500. No candidates, please, but their supporters are more than welcome to call in. Good morning, thanks for holding. Yes, Chris. Yes, sir. Can I just change the subject for one minute? Depends. Well, give it your best shot. Okay. I was watching an interview yesterday, I think it was Channel 12, with this Clancy thing, okay? Okay. And I'm not sure if it was her mother or father, but the moderator, he asked the... He asked them, so how is she taking this? What is she doing and why all this is going on? Well, they said her attitude is she misses her kids and she wants to be with her kids. And he says, so how is she handling this? And the woman, I don't know if it was her mother or what, but she says, well, she hangs around the house and she just walks around the house thinking of her kids. And it dawned on me, what do you mean she's walking around the house? I thought she was a paraplegic. Me too. And that was what she said. And nobody asked, what did you just say? I also thought she was incarcerated in a facility somewhere in the Commonwealth. I just can't remember the name of it. Well, Tewksbury, I thought. Well, according to this interview, I don't know. It was a man and a woman old enough to be her mother and father. I'm not sure. But the woman said she's just walking around the house. And I said, whoa, wait a minute. Did I just hear that right now? I don't know if any of your listeners heard that interview, but I would like to know because one day when I was watching her in court there, I thought I said to my wife, I said, was her legs just crossed? That's right. And then all of a sudden I heard this yesterday on that interview. So I'm just curious if anybody else heard that, could they call in? Do you recall what channel the interview was on? I believe it was channel 12. It was like the six o'clock news, something like that. You know, the national news. I know it was the national news. Okay, so it was national news, not the local affiliate. Okay. No, it was national news. And I forget who the moderator is. Thank Yeah, I distinctly heard her say that she's walking around the house thinking of her kids. And I go, whoa, what the hell? No, that was worth hearing. I appreciate you calling in. And we'll have something to talk about you. if that's in fact the case in the coming days. All right, Chris. Thank you, my friend. Thank you. That's very interesting. Did anybody hear that interview about Lindsay Clancy that apparently she's able to walk now? I got to take a quick break. We'll be right back, guys. Stick around. Go vote. It's election day. Go vote. Welcome back. You hear that ad for the Senate Ways and Means chairman, Mike Rodericks, great guy, came in here, sat with us for an hour, took calls. Can't do better than the Senate Ways and Means chairman being from your region. So I hope Westport will appreciate that. Freetown, I know you appreciate it. Lakeville, Rochester, it's good to have cloud All out up on Beacon Hill, right? So, Fall River, you too. And again, Mike Rodericks is here, not for me, but for you, my audience, this incredible community that we have going on here. These smart people in elected office want to stay there. That's why they're appealing to you. Let's go back to the phones. Good morning. Thanks, Holden. Hey, Chris, I just wanted to share something with you. Sure. Um, remember when Trump ran, we all remember when Trump ran in the last election, how the media, you know, prepared us for, oh, you know, Kamala is going to win. It's going to be a landslide. And I remember the night of the election and I fell asleep on the couch and it was about quarter to two when I woke up. My husband was sitting in his recliner with his hands behind his head. And I said, what happened? And he said, we won. And I can't I can't express the joy and how I felt that night and how relieved and how I felt. That's how I want to feel tomorrow morning when Mike Minogue wins. So it's all about getting out the vote, telling all your friends to go vote and not be subjected to the propaganda, which a lot of polls are used for. I got two text messages today, did you vote? And I voted early for the first time in my adult life because Mike Minogue told me to. I wouldn't even think of it. And he said, you know what? Anything could go wrong. It's a beautiful day. There's no reason people can't get out and vote. If you got to go to work, that's fine. There's plenty of time after work.
