Marc Elias
If a few weird ballots and premature cries of “stolen election” aren’t enough to suggest Massachusetts’ special election might not be resolved quickly, perhaps this is: Marc Elias, who served as lead attorney for Al Franken’s legal team, has set up shop in the state, just in case.
Elias, who works at the D.C. firm of Perkins Coie, will represent Democrat Martha Coakley. The Republican side includes Daniel Winslow, a partner at Duane Morris in Boston, and Sean Cairncross, a National Republican Senatorial Committee attorney, among others, Politico reports.
Earlier this afternoon, The Plum Line’s Greg Sargent reported that two Cambridge voters received ballots pre-marked for Republican Scott Brown.

Posted this over on PlumLine also. Claim is that the “bubble was already filled in” for Scott Brown.
What do they mean, bubble? Unless there are different ballots for different precincts, you complete the ballot by connecting the two parts of the arrow to the right of the candidate’s name. See the photo posted by Sissy Willis:

Does anyone here recognize the law firm Perkins Coie?
Maybe this link will refresh your memory.

The right wing media and right wing nut jobs have been in MA for months now pushing that sleezy Scott Brown rather than the correct candidate, Ms. Coakley.
If the Dems lose, it is a crooked election and we should shut down that state until we get our rightful seat back in the Senate.
