ok #cambma election night coverage. Now hanging out in Coty Hall (precincts 3-3 and 3-3A. Used to be 4-2) waiting for machine tapes to print. Looks like it'll be fairly quick, unlike in some past years.
err *City Hall. sigh...
Here are some early Dem. results from #cambma 3-3 and 3-3A (376 votes). Gotta do Math, but Driscoll, Campbell, Sullivan all leading
Here 4-2. Using the ladder may well be necessary.
Here's a zoom on 4-2 and 4-2A.
Here's the Senior Center, calm before the storm.

Also, apparently there's some [machine?] problem at 9-2, the Water Dept. Machine technician has been dispatched.
First precinct! 2-1 is here. I'm not going to read them off...
Starting to feel a little busier here.
As usual, the Globe has called SOS for Galvin, AP called AG for Campbell, and of course everyone called Gov. for Healey.

While we in Cambridge are still 0% precincts reporting. La-de-da.
All 4 election commissioners have now arrived (2 pictured). Theyve been going since 5am or so and are grabbing some food before convening the formal Meeting. (no Zoom this year sorry.)
Sounds like we've got around 16 of the - nope 34 OUT OF 42 PRECINCTS

can you read this?
Better resolution on Cambridge 32/44 results:
better shot of page 1
Hand tallying of ballots from the dropboxes has begun. Its estimated there are only a few hundred of these.
37/42 precincts reporting in #cambma
OK WE ARE ALMOST THERE 42 OUT OF 42 WAITING FOR THE PRINTOUT
#cambma UNOFFICIAL results 42/42 precincts reporting
And the City's PDF is here (faster than I could scan, because I left my portable scanner at home…):
cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/…
It's really striking that for Secretary of State, Galvin and Sullivan were neck-and-neck, ultimately separated by 19 votes here in Cambridge, or 0.130%.

Zoom link: cambridgema.zoom.us/s/97895847144

I will livetweet it in this thread.
Linked below is last night's.
It is a little hard to take this sign on the front door of Cambridge City Hall seriously. If you can even notice it amongst the others, and read it in its half folded state, would you feel STRONGLY encouraged to wear a mask?

What if there was free candy? Image
Meeting starts. All 9 councillors are present in the Sullivan Chamber.

It's been quiet in Savino for the past month, but today the Government filed (ANOTHER) appeal of 5 orders, including the June 3 (#206, 61 days ago) "minutes" that denied reconsideration of the earlier preliminary injunction. ImageImageImage
SAVINO UPDATE: Just before 5pm today, the Savino plaintiffs (appellees) filed a motion for summary disposition at the First Circuit, seeking to dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. Image
Frustratingly, Savino documents at the First Circuit remain restricted and unavailable to the public.

I obtained this copy of today's motion from @LCRBOSTON:

We have the @ORDOJ complaint
ROSENBLUM V. DOES 1–10, DHS, CBP, USMS, FPS.

10:39pm Pacific.

courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
@ORDOJ It's slightly peculiar that the complaint has an attached declaration (of Mark Pettibone!) "in support of Rosenblum's motion for a TRO+PI," although no such motion has been filed [yet].

Complaint is a quite light 9 pages, unlike the 52 pages in Index/Woodstock.
@ORDOJ Still no TRO motion in ROSENBLUM v. DOES, and the Court has entered a by-rote scheduling order for discovery by November, &c, &c.

Also no response by @ORDOJ to press inquiries over the weekend or this morning. Image

DHS and the Marshal's Service were added today as defendants in INDEX NEWSPAPERS, WOODSTOCK V. PORTLAND, a class action brought by newspapers against Portland police.
Docket: courtlistener.com/docket/1730167…
Apparently @ACLU_OR had concerns about this early enough to have moved to amend their complaint back on July 14, despite the rest of us apparently waking up to this concern last night. Image
@ACLU_OR Update on Oregon: The judge in INDEX,WOODSTOCK v. PORTLAND has set 5pm Tue as a deadline for federal defendants DHS+USMS to respond; 5pm Wed reply; hearing 1pm Thu 7/23.

The Court will serve federal defendants itself. Image

LOOKS LIKE @Harvard has filed its reply an hour early! It was set to reply by noon to the Government's response from yesterday in the F-1 visa case, but here it is!
PDF: courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
They've kept it to 15 pages, which…they didn't really have to do.
Table of contents here.
They avoid the term "nationwide injunction" and go for "program-wide"
Harvard is firm out of the gate: "The government’s opposition does not engage with Plaintiffs’ primary arguments or authorities and, indeed, relies on propositions that the Supreme Court has repeatedly rejected, including as recently as last month’s decision in [the DACA case]."

New day, new thread. 10am Friday, another emergency video hearing in Harvard+MIT v. ICE+DHS. I will livetweet.
It will likely be a short hearing.

Catch up on yesterday at Image
At today's hearing, we expect to find out if the Government will agree to defer implementation of its restrictions on student visa-holders & submission deadlines for school to submit "change plans." Otherwise, we'll set a schedule for a TRO hearing early next week, I think.
Looks like the Zoom videoconference will be starting momentarily. Again, we're not allowed to record, rebroadcast, photograph, or screenshot, so this is about as close as you'll get, sorry Twitter: Image
