Ex-Westford politician can no longer vote in town
Former Selectman and past Republican Town Committee Chairman Angel Connell can no longer vote in Westford after the Board of Registrars unanimously voted Tuesday to remove him from the voter registration.
Connell was re-elected to the Republican Town Committee in the March 6 primary as a write-in candidate.
Connell bought a home in Cumberland, R.I., in 2006; however, his address listed in the voter registration was 25 Keyes Road.
Connell said during the hearing he had no documentation to prove he lived in Westford.
The evidence the board weighed in its decision included the facts that Connell owns a home in R.I., he has a Rhode Island driver’s license, his vehicles are registered in Rhode Island, he spends most of his evenings and nights in Rhode Island and he filed nonresident tax returns in Massachusetts.
It also says the Board “agonized” over the decision.
