Polling locations across the City open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.  The City previously announced the addition of 20 new voting precincts, following the Boston Election Precinct Adjustment Plan completed in October 2021, which aimed to increase voting accessibility by distributing voters equitably across precincts. The number of voting precincts has now increased from 255 to 275. As a result, the City of Boston is advising voters that they may experience a change in their precinct and polling location. Voters can find their polling location here.   The Elections Department has been conducting outreach to ensure that residents are aware of any change to their polling location ahead of the election. Voters can also check their registration status via the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website to find their election day polling location.   General Information Unofficial Results After polls close at 8 p.m., the Election Department will receive and upload unofficial results of ballots counted at polling places as they are returned from each precinct. The initial results reported on the website on election night will include: Ballots cast in person on election day; Early voting and mail-in ballots, including those from precincts being centrally tabulated at the City Hall central tabulation facility.

Media Guidelines Where to Stand Like all observers, members of the press must remain behind the guardrail. While many polling places are not equipped with a physical guardrail, the area within the “guardrail” encompasses the check-in table, the voting booths, and the ballot box. Only poll workers and voters should be within this area.  Interacting with Voters and Poll Workers Members of the press, like all other observers in the polling place, may not interact with voters while they are in the polling place. Observers who have questions about where they should stand and what they are allowed to do while observing should ask to speak to the polling location’s warden. The warden will provide members of the press with information regarding their rights as observers. Photography Photography of the voting process in the polling place is permitted, though marked ballots may not be photographed. Photographers are allowed inside the polling place to photograph the area from outside the guardrail. Video & Audio Recording Video recording of the polling place is allowed. Audio recording of the polling place is not permitted under state law. Anyone recording in the polling place must have the ability to record without capturing audio. Those who are using electronic equipment may not use the electricity in the polling place to power their equipment.

HOME HEALTH CARE COMPANY TO PAY $425,000 FOLLOWING DATA BREACH IMPACTING THOUSANDS OF MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS

 HOME HEALTH CARE COMPANY TO PAY $425,000 FOLLOWING DATA BREACH IMPACTING THOUSANDS OF MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS

Georgia-Based Company Failed to Implement Proper Security Measures Necessary to Prevent Series of Phishing Attacks that Affected More than 4,000 Massachusetts Residents in 2019

 

            BOSTON – A Georgia-based home health and hospice care company will pay $425,000 after it failed to implement proper security measures to protect the personal information of patients and employees, Attorney General Maura Healey announced today.

 

The complaint and consent judgment against Aveanna Healthcare, LLC, entered today in Suffolk Superior Court, follows a series of phishing attacks that impacted more than 4,000 Massachusetts residents. Aveanna is a national provider of pediatric and adult home health care, operating in 33 states with Massachusetts offices located in Brockton, Plymouth, Shrewsbury, Springfield, Waltham, West Springfield, and Worcester. The AG’s Office alleges that in July 2019, Aveanna employees began receiving fraudulent “phishing” emails designed to cause the recipient to provide credentials, money, or sensitive information.

 

“Companies have an obligation to put the right security measures and systems in place to prevent hackers from accessing sensitive information,” said AG Healey. “As a result of this resolution, Aveanna will ensure compliance with our strong data security laws and the take steps necessary to protect its employees and the private data of Massachusetts residents moving forward.”

 

The private information, which may have included social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, and health information such as diagnoses, medications, and treatment records, of more than 4,000 Massachusetts residents, including patients and employees, was potentially accessed by the hackers.

 

In one instance, a phishing email was sent to employees that appeared to come from Aveanna’s president. The attacks continued into August 2019, by which point more than 600 phishing emails were sent to employees. Employees’ responses to these emails resulted in hackers obtaining access to portions of Aveanna’s computer network. The hackers also tried to defraud employees by logging into Aveanna’s human resources system and altering individual employees’ direct deposit information. In response to the incident, Aveanna provided affected Massachusetts residents with two years of free credit monitoring.

 

            The AG’s Office alleges that Aveanna was aware that its cybersecurity required improvement but had not implemented new changes to improve it by the time the phishing attacks occurred. Among the problems Aveanna identified were a lack of sufficient tools and employee training to stop phishing attacks, and a lack of the use of multi-factor authentication, which can also help to stop phishing attacks. Additionally, the AG’s Office alleges that Aveanna’s security program failed to meet the minimum required safeguards to protect personal information under the Massachusetts Data Security Regulations. The complaint also alleges that Aveanna failed to meet the standards for security of protected health information that are required by Federal HIPAA regulations.

 

            Under the terms of the consent judgment, Aveanna will pay $425,000 to the AG’s Office. Additionally, the company will be required to develop, implement, and maintain a security program that includes phishing protection technology, multi-factor authentication, and other systems designed to detect and address intrusions. 

 

Aveanna must also continue to train its employees on data security, keep them up to date on security threats, and do an annual independent assessment of its compliance with the consent judgment and the Massachusetts Data Security Regulations for a period of four years.

 

            If you believe that you have been the victim of a data breach, you may need to take steps to protect yourself from identity theft. For additional information, consumers may visit the AG’s website. Guidance for businesses on data breaches can be found here.

 

This case was handled by Division Chief Jared Rinehimer, of the AG’s Data Privacy and Security Division.

 Governor Baker Makes Nominations to District Court and Housing Court

 

BOSTON – Today, Governor Charlie Baker nominated Attorney Pamela Gauvin as Clerk Magistrate of the Wrentham District Court, Attorney Joseph B. McIntyre as Clerk Magistrate of the Southeastern Division of the Housing Court and Attorney Michael J. Callahan as Associate Justice of the District Court.

 

“Attorneys Gauvin, McIntyre and Callahan will bring valuable knowledge and experience to their new roles if confirmed,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “We are proud to submit their nominations for consideration.”

 

“All of these nominees have many years of experience in public service that make each of them well-suited candidates for these positions,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We look forward to the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council.”

 

The District Court hears a wide range of criminal, civil, housing, juvenile, mental health, and other types of cases. District Court criminal jurisdiction extends to all felonies punishable by a sentence up to five years, and many other specific felonies with greater potential penalties; all misdemeanors; and all violations of city and town ordinances and by-laws. The District Court is located in 62 courts across the Commonwealth. 

 

For more information about the District Court, visit their homepage.

 

The Housing Court Department handles all matters involving residential housing such as eviction cases, small claims cases, and civil actions involving personal injury, property damage, breach of contract, discrimination, as well as code enforcement actions and appeals of local zoning board decisions that affect residential housing. The Housing Court’s mission is to adjudicate all matters presented by litigants within its jurisdiction regarding housing in a fair, efficient and timely manner according to the rule of law and the facts presented. Led by Chief Justice Timothy F. Sullivan, the Housing Court currently has 15 judges and they sit in 6 divisions Central, Eastern, Metro South, Northeast, Southeast, and Western.

 

For more information about the Housing Court, visit their homepage.

 

Judicial nominations are subject to the advice and consent of the Governor’s Council. Applicants for judicial openings are reviewed by the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) and recommended to the governor. Governor Baker established the JNC in February 2015 pursuant to Executive Order 558, a non-partisan, non-political Commission composed of volunteers from a cross-section of the Commonwealth's diverse population to screen judicial applications. Twenty-one members were later appointed to the JNC in April 2015.

Jesse Brown Campaign's statement on the First radio debate between him and congressman Keating

 Statement by the Jesse Brown Campaign On First Radio Debate With Congressman Keating

      

PLYMOUTH, Mass. - The Jesse Brown for Congress campaign released the following statement on the first radio debate of the campaign for the 9th Congressional District: 

 

“Tonight, Jesse Brown showed why he is the political outsider we need to go to Washington and fight for the people of this district. Jesse held Congressman Bill Keating accountable for his decade of ineffectiveness and failure that has left our residents with out-of-control inflation, record gas prices, and rising crime and drug addiction. Despite his support for $6 trillion in new spending, Keating has failed to secure funding for our most important infrastructure projects including the Cape Cod Bridges. Jesse Brown effectively made the case for change and demonstrated how his years of service and job creation make him the most qualified candidate. That is why he decisively won tonight’s debate.”

           (Boston Orange 綜合報導) 華人前進會和國會議員Ayanna Pressley，麻州參議員Lydia Edwards，麻州眾議員Aaron Michlewitz，以及波士頓市議會議長 Ed Flynn日前聯袂出席櫥窗藝術展揭幕式，籲請選民投票支持選票問題1號及4號。

華人前進會志工呼籲投票支持選票問題1號及4號。

           畫在華人前進會位於波士頓華埠辦公室窗戶上的櫥窗藝術作品，是波士頓本地藝術家Shaina Lu 和 Vivian Ho的創作。Vivian表示，她是一名數學老師，也是一名藝術家。她在一所老師、輔導員及電腦都不足夠的學校任教，對她來說很明顯地該支持選票問題1號。

Shaina表示，他們的設計靈感來自社區願景，” 我們是想像我們的社區應該有些甚麼東西，看起來又該像什麼樣子。我們想像著一個有著良好道路，公立學校很棒，有全民托兒照顧，小孩覺得安全的地方” 。

當天出席的民選議員及社區人士分別發言，表示選票問題1號及4號，都該投同意票。

麻州聯邦眾議員Pressley表示，麻州第7 選區是你們大家稱之為家的地方，我很驕傲能代表這個蓬勃、多元、充滿活力，卻不平等的社區。而這都因為這些社區長期以來處於資源被剝奪或不足狀態的事實。所以現在是百萬富翁們公平支付他們該付出的那一份的時候了，好讓我們能夠投資進最重要的2大類基礎設施，藉由教育投資進我們的人民，以及公共交通等實體基礎設施，以確使每個人都能自由流動。

她也表示她支持選票問題4號。”投贊成票給選票問題4號是在支持正義、家庭、平等及安全”。

麻州眾議員麥家威 (AaronMichlewitz)談及這2個選票問題所代表的價值。他說，”這2個計劃對我們來說很有意義，那不只是為我們需要的交通、教育相關事務提供新的經費來源，也不只是關於我們的道路安全，而是關於我們的價值觀

民代及民眾聚集支持選票問題1號及4號。 (CPA  Boston 提供)

”。

麻州參議員Lydia Edwards坦言，容許合資格居民不論移民狀態為何就可取得駕照一事，經過冗長的爭鬥。當人們談到選票問題4時，必須得認知在麻州，這行動已持續了超過20年這事實。” 華人前進會從一開始就是這行動的一部分，而且持續推動，以確保只要是麻州居民，不論是在哪裡出生，或是如何來到麻州，”我們要你有保險的出門，有驗證的旅行。

            波士頓市議會議長Ed Flynn表示，支持選票問題1號和4號，是關於使移民獲得受尊重，有尊嚴的對待，讓工人階級家庭被公平對待。這是關於每一個人的社會及經濟正義，特別是對需要這些的人來說。

            社區人士Yan Xia Chen經由翻譯，分享了她支持選票問題1號及4號的原因。她說，”我是一名居家護理工作人員，我丈夫是一名Lyft駕駛，我真的想要選票問題1號獲通過。她分享表示，”我們都感受到許多財務上的壓力。特別是工人家庭。我真的想要選票問題1號獲准通過，因為那將投資進教育，公安去。當價格上漲，即使這交通開銷只增加了一點，對我們來說也還是很多。

Sheriffs Jim Cummings, Tom Hodgson, and Joe McDonald Endorse Jesse Brown for Congress

Sheriffs Jim Cummings, Tom Hodgson, and Joe McDonald Endorse Jesse Brown for Congress

      

PLYMOUTH, Mass. - The Jesse Brown for Congress campaign is proud to announce the endorsements of Barnstable County Sheriff Jim Cummings, Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson, and Plymouth County Sheriff Joe McDonald, all of whose towns make up a majority of the MA-9th District. Since day one of his campaign, Jesse Brown has been a strong advocate for law enforcement, promising to support their efforts to keep our communities safe. 

“Jesse Brown will make sure our first responders and law enforcement have everything that they need to do their jobs effectively,” stated Bristol County Sheriff Tom Hodgson. “Jesse will be a strong advocate to secure our borders on the federal level so that we can finally stop illegal drugs like Fentanyl that's killing 300 young adults every day from pouring into our country. Jesse is dedicated to the safety of Bristol County as well as the entire 9th District.” 

“Jesse Brown will stand by our men and women in blue who keep us safe. With Jesse in Congress, we will have a partner who will work with us on the public safety issues that really matter to Cape Cod and Islands, and the entire 9th District,” said Barnstable County Sheriff Jim Cummings.

“Jesse Brown understands what law enforcement needs to keep our communities safe, and also knows how law enforcement is struggling with recruitment and staffing shortages. I have no doubt that his commitment to the people of the 9th District is exactly what we need,” said Plymouth County Sheriff Joe McDonald. 

“It is an honor and a privilege to have earned the endorsement of Sheriffs Cummings, Hodgson, and McDonald,” said Jesse Brown. “Their dedication to public safety is unmatched, and as the next Congressman of the 9th District, law enforcement and first responders will always have my full support.” 

These endorsements come on the back of additional endorsements from law enforcement and public safety organizations on both the national and statewide level, including the State Trooper Coalition and the State Police Association of Massachusetts.
