This week’s Unsung Heroes are easy to pick.
I vote for everyone who helped make yesterday’s elections run smoothly.
Town officials in the registrars’ and town clerk’s offices; volunteers at the polling places; League of Women Voters members who handed out non-partisan information; the behind-the-scenes custodial, maintenance and administrative folks wherever votes were cast; Staples High School students who greeted voters and passed out,= “I Voted” stickers; police officers who were ready in case there were any issues … anyone who had a hand in making sure democracy worked yesterday: thank you.
No matter the outcome, you won.
A soothingly familiar scene, year after year in Westport.
