I tried to post the updated version of the story, Sam, but the Admin Moderator pulled it as a duplicate post (maybe someday the search engine will actually work).

BOSTON -- The state's election chief says a voting complaint by Republican gubernatorial candidate Mitt Romney today was "Much ado about nothing."
Romney's campaign filed a complaint today saying Democrat Shannon O'Brien's supporters were escorting voters into booths and telling them how to vote in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
But Secretary of State William Galvin says he investigated the complaint, and found only one person who was approaching voters and offering translation services.
Election officials asked that person to stay at least 150 feet away from the polling place, as required by law.
No voters have filed any complaints.
An O'Brien spokesman called Romney's claim outrageous, and said Romney was just trying to dampen voter enthusiasm.

"Much ado about nothing," sure, sure. It sounds to me like Shannon's Brownshirted Union plug uglies are hard at work out there. Galvin, of course, is a Dem.

I don't think the search engine would have helped because our posts hit at about exactly the same time. You were setting up yours as I was hitting the post button. There's just no way to avoid that kind of thing.

Anyway, thanks for pasting your updated information here.
