Voting Irregularity/GOTV Stories From Massachusetts

In almost every hotly contested election, there are stories of intrigue about how the election-day voting and vote-getting went down (often murky and hard to verify--see the 2008 reports that two Black Panthers may have been intimidating voters by milling about outside a polling place in Philadelphia).

Here are three stories/rumors we've seen so far today in Massachusetts: that Democratic get-out-the-vote canvassers have been waived off by Obama supporters who say they'll vote fore Republican Scott Brown, according to a Democratic operative; that two voters were handed ballots that had already been filled out for Brown, according to the Coakley campaign; and that a woman handed out absentee ballots today, past the Friday deadline for absentee applicants, telling people to vote for Democrat Martha Coakley, according to an undated video posted on YouTube today by Election Journal, the same group that filmed the Black Panthers in '08.
