According to the Boston Globe’s town-by-town map of the September 10 primary results, Lincoln was one of only five mainland towns east of Worcester where the majority voted for Don Berwick for governor. The other four were Concord, Carlisle, Upton and Wellfleet. The only other towns east of Worcester that went for Berwick were West Tisbury, Chilmar, Aquinnah (all on Martha’s Vineyard), and the densely populated town of Gosnold, which comprises the Elizabeth Islands including Cuttyhunk. Berwick won 40 percent of the Gosnold vote, while 30 percent each went for Coakley and Grossman. That’s four, three and three votes respectively.
In the Lincoln Squirrel story about the September 10 primary election, several figures in the state-wide percentage column were transposed. The errors have been fixed in the original post.
