Oct 26, 2011 - The "Random Draw of Precincts" took place today (Oct 26) at the
Cambridge Election Commission. This determines the order in
which ballots from precincts throughout the city are counted in the
election. Though this has a relatively minor effect on the tabulation of
the ballots (because of the "Cincinnati Method" used to transfer
surplus ballots), it can potentially make a difference in a very close
election. Here's the ordering determined by lottery (read down the
columns):
