Voters who have been checked at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening may vote. even if they have not yet en- tered the machines Moderator John E. Lamb stated this morning in an- swering 8 question which has been puzzling local voters since the pos sibility of damned balloting places has become apparent. Judge B. w. filling. attorney general of Connec- ticut. has ruled that voters in line at o'clock will be unable to vote. Mir. Lamb. in common with the vot- ing officials in surrounding locali- ties. has interpreted this to refer to If voter has been checked, MT. Lamb holds. he has started his vote and will be allowed to complete it by entering the machine and oper- ating it. Further, the checkers list must add up to the same total as would not be the case If any who had been checked were prevented from voting.
 MT. Lamb pointed out that if all 23l3 persons on the voting list ex- ercise their privilege it will be nec- l essary for the checkers to. mark off on the average of three persons a | minute and for the voters to pass through the three machines at bet | ter than one a minute. The 12 hours l and three machines give only 216O voting minutes for the 2313 voters. Questions as to who was eligible to vote were also cleared up by Mir Lamb, who has received an opinion on this matter from Attorney Gen. eral filling. Single persons may claim the right to vote in any town where they claim residence and where they are on the voting list Married people who have lived in Plainville but have moved away within the past six months may vote here unless they have moved out of the state. in which case they have lost their voting privileges in Con- necticut.
