Hi LT. At the request of Tim Higgins per his email below, I will share his response via LT shortly.
In his reply, Mr. Higgins attaches the opinion of the Town of Lincoln's Legal Counsel, which is that Massachusetts Law precludes remote voting. Importantly, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office (AGO) is not in agreement with the opinion of the Town of Lincoln's Legal Counsel on this matter. Please contact Bethany Brown, ADA Coordinator at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, as soon as possible to document your concerns regarding Reasonable Accommodations. Bethany's cell is: 781-429-9286, and she is copied on this email as well. All best, Sarah Liepert Trapelo Rd. ________________________________ From: Higgins, Timothy S. <higgi...@lincolntown.org> Sent: Friday, December 1, 2023 3:34 PM To: Sarah Liepert <sarahliep...@hotmail.com> Cc: Terri <terri3...@aol.com>; Lincoln Talk <Lincoln@lincolntalk.org>; bethany.h.br...@mass.gov <bethany.h.br...@mass.gov>; Pereira, Dan <perei...@lincolntown.org>; Hutchinson, Jim <jhutchinsonsel...@lincolntown.org>; Cannon Holden, Sarah <sarahcannonhol...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: ADA information on voting rights Re: [LincolnTalk] question Sarah Please share my response to your email so that residents understand that Massachusetts Law precludes remote voting, as confirmed by Town Counsel.

I am pretty sure we can all agree....their voices are most important. I see the question was asked several times here on LT.....but no answer. I do not see it on Town Web site (?)
