LAWRENCE, Mass. — At the Essex Towers senior public housing, voters are being allowed to vote despite the poll warden not showing up.

According to a poll watcher for Republican candidate Scott Brown, a Lawrence Police Department officer unlocked the ballot box.

This was observed by Americans for Limited Government, and Brown and Martha Coakley poll watchers.

The poll warden had taken a child to school, according to one observer.

The police later opened a polling machine for a handicapped man.

There was still no evidence of a poll warden one hour after the polls opened.
